MODELING AND SIMULATION OF INTERAURAL-LEVEL-DIFFERENCEDETECTION OF AUDITORY NEURONS IN THE INFERIOR COLLICULUS IN FROGS
蛙下丘听觉神经元对双耳强度差检测功能的建模和仿真

A mathematical model of interaural-level-difference detection in auditory neurons in the frog inferior colliculus was established in this paper. The accordance between the simulation and experimental results supports the following hypothesis: The reason that the EO neuron does not show any response to the ipsilateral stimuli is probably that ipsilateral inhibitory input overcome the ipsilateral excitatory input. The reason that EE neuron display binaural inhibition is possibly that a presynaptic interaction occurs between inhibitory inputs from the ipsilateral side and excitatory inputs from the contraleteral side.
