A biologically detailed model of the binaural avian nucleus laminaris is constructed, as a two-dimensional array of multicompartment, conductance-based neurons, along tonotopic and interaural time delay (ITD) axes. The model is based primarily on data from chick nucleus laminaris. Typical chick-like parameters perform ITD discrimination up to 2 kHz, and enhancements for barn owl perform ITD discrimination up to 6 kHz. The dendritic length gradient of NL is explained concisely. The response to binaural out-of-phase input is suppressed well below the response to monaural input (without any spontaneous activity on the opposite side), implicating active potassium channels as crucial to good ITD discrimination.
构建了一个双耳禽层状核的生物细节模型,该模型作为一个基于电导的多隔室神经元的二维阵列,沿着音频拓扑和双耳时间延迟(ITD)轴排列。该模型主要基于来自鸡层状核的数据。典型的类似鸡的参数可实现高达2 kHz的ITD辨别,而谷仓猫头鹰的增强参数可实现高达6 kHz的ITD辨别。简明地解释了层状核的树突长度梯度。对双耳异相输入的反应被抑制到远低于对单耳输入的反应(另一侧没有任何自发活动),这表明活性钾通道对良好的ITD辨别至关重要。
