Unlike retinal targets, the cochlear nuclei contain maps of frequency, not location.

So how does the auditory system know ‘where’ a sound is coming from?
By comparing the interaural time differences (ITD) between the ears
How is this accomplished?...

Binaural Responses in Superior Olive
ITDs work only for the low frequency components of sound
What about higher frequencies?
The sound shadow cast by the head produces interaural level differences
How is this comparison made?...
Louder Softer
ILD CODING
LSO vs MNTB Response to ILD
LSO Creates ILD Responses
EI inputs to LSO When sound is louder in ipsilateral ear, LSO neurons fire action potentials
When sound is louder in the contralateral ear, LSO neurons are inhibited
