We have presented behavioral evidence suggesting that one function of auditory cortex is to attend to stimuli at the contralateral ear. Further, behavioral and anatomic evidence shows that the neural mechanisms for this function probably depend on a pathway that crosses at the level of the medulla, bypasses the superior olive, and ascends to the contralateral inferior colliculus. At higher centers there are several auditory pathways from thalamus to cortex, as well as descending pathways from cortex, and some of these pathways may play a role in selective listening with one ear.
我们已经提供了行为学证据，表明听觉皮层的一个功能是关注对侧耳朵的刺激。此外，行为学和解剖学证据表明，该功能的神经机制可能依赖于一条在延髓水平交叉、绕过 Superior olive 并上升到对侧下丘的通路。在更高的中枢，有几条从丘脑到皮层的听觉通路，以及从皮层发出的下行通路，其中一些通路可能在单耳选择性聆听中发挥作用。 （注：“Superior olive”未查到准确对应中文术语，保留英文）
