A map of sound direction was found in the owl's midbrain more than three decades ago. This finding suggested that the brain reconstructs spatial coordinates to represent them. Subsequent research elucidated the variables used to compute the map. Here we provide a review of the processes leading to its emergence and an updated perspective on how and what information is represented.
三十多年前,人们在猫头鹰的中脑中发现了一个声音方向图。这一发现表明,大脑会重建空间坐标来表示它们。随后的研究阐明了用于计算图谱的变量。在这里,我们提供了一个关于其出现的过程的综述,并更新了关于如何以及表示什么信息的观点。
