The auditory system computes sound location by detecting submillisecond time differences in the arrival of sound at the two ears. Studies by van der Heijden et al. (2013) and Roberts et al. (2013) in this issue of Neuron shed light on how this is accomplished by the interaction of excitatory and inhibitory synapses.
听觉系统通过检测声音到达双耳的亚毫秒时间差来计算声音的位置。van der Heijden 等人(2013 年)和 Roberts 等人(2013 年)在本期《神经元》上的研究揭示了兴奋性和抑制性突触的相互作用是如何实现这一点的。
