Hearing underlies our ability to locate sound sources in the environment, our appreciation of music, and our ability to communicate. Participants in the National Academy of Sciences colloquium on Auditory Neuroscience: Development, Transduction, and Integration presented research results bearing on four key issues in auditory research. How does the complex inner ear develop? How does the cochlea transduce sounds into electrical signals? How does the brain's ability to compute the location of a sound source develop? How does the forebrain analyze complex sounds, particularly species-specific communications? This article provides an introduction to the papers stemming from the meeting.
听力是我们在环境中定位声源、欣赏音乐以及进行交流的能力的基础。参加美国国家科学院关于听觉神经科学：发育、转导与整合研讨会的与会者展示了与听觉研究中四个关键问题相关的研究成果。复杂的内耳是如何发育的？耳蜗如何将声音转换为电信号？大脑计算声源位置的能力是如何发展的？前脑如何分析复杂声音，尤其是特定物种的交流声音？本文对会议产生的论文进行了介绍。
