Temporal response properties of neurons in the auditory pathway.
A number of laboratories have recently refined descriptions of temporal response properties, from the auditory periphery to the midbrain. At many levels of the auditory pathway, the role of inhibition in temporal coding of complex sounds is being explored. In addition, quantitative relationships between physiology and psychophysics are being investigated.
