[Evoked potentials of the cat inferior colliculus to acoustic stimuli simulating sound source movement with different velocities in opposite directions].
Amplitude changes of inferior colliculus evoked potentials (EPs) in anaesthetized adult cats were studied under presentation of acoustic stimuli simulating both azimuth-moving and stationary sound source. The movement was simulated with gradual changes of interaural time delay between binaurally presented click trains. It was shown that the amplitude of EPs elicited by "moving" signals depended on the velocity of movement. Amplitude differences between EPs to "moving" and stationary stimuli were observed under motion velocities up to 320 deg./s. The greatest response amplitudes in different experiments took place under velocities within the range of 67-320 deg./s with most of them recorded under velocities of 170 and 125 deg./s. Amplitude of the responses to lateral-medial movement with any velocity were always greater than those to opposite direction of movement with the same velocity.
