Integrative Functions in the Mammalian Auditory Pathway (eBook, PDF)

Redaktion: Oertel, Donata; Fay, Richard R.

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

A summary of how the electrical signals used to represent sounds are encoded and interpreted through the integrated roles of various nuclei. This volume builds on the information about the anatomy and physiology of the auditory pathway found in volumes 1 and 2 of the SHAR series. While the first two volumes describe the structure and function of auditory pathways, this one explains how these pathways lead to an animal's ability to localize and interpret sounds.
