Mechanisms of Sound Localization in Mammals

TL;DR: Recent evidence concerning the nature of the neural representation of auditory space in the mammalian brain is reviewed and advances in the understanding of mammalian subcortical processing of auditory spatial cues that challenge the "textbook" version of sound localization are elaborate.

Neural Mechanisms of Encoding Binaural Localization Cues in the Auditory Brainstem

Tom C. T. Yin
TL;DR: The purpose of this chapter is to review the anatomical and physiological mechanisms in the auditory brainstem of mammals that encode where a sound originates and examines the two binaural localization cues: interaural time disparities (ITDs) and Interaural level disparities (ILDs).

Locatable and Nonlocatable Acoustic Signals for Barn Owls

TL;DR: Physical parameters of sound that affect acoustic location in the barn owl were studied and differences in locatability between the two classes of signals are not due to the reasons given by Marler for predators in general.
Journal ArticleDOI

Sound Localization, Sound Lateralization, and Binaural Masking Level Differences in Young Children with Normal Hearing.

TL;DR: The modified procedures for measuring sound localization, sound lateralization, and binaural masking level differences in young children showed that the modified procedures are suitable for testing children from the age of 4 to 5 yr, and it seems that bINAural hearing capacities of the 5-yr-olds are similar to those of adults.

Sound localization and use of binaural cues by the gerbil (Meriones unguiculatus).

TL;DR: The sound localization ability of gerbil is typical of small rodents, and there is no obvious sign that it is affected by the degenerative disorder of the central auditory system which has been recently discovered in gerbils.
