Abstract:1Fluctuations in amplitude are a common component of behaviorally important sound 2 stimuli. Amplitude modulation (AM) is encoded by the peripheral auditory system in the timing 3 of discharge spikes, and, more centrally, in the discharge rate. The mechanism producing this 4 transformation from a time-to rate-based code is not known, but recent modeling efforts have 5 suggested a role for neurons with response characteristics consistent with cells in the lateral 6 superior olive (LSO). The responses of single … Show more
