Integrative Functions in the Mammalian Auditory Pathway
Integrative Functions in the Mammalian Auditory Pathway Books
Product Description
The Biological importance of the auditory system of vertebrates lies in its ability to provide animals with in rank about where sounds arise and what they mean. The auditory system can alert animals to the presence of danger or prey and, in many animals, seves as a basis for communication. This volume summarizes how the electrical signals used to represent sounds are encodes and iinterpreted through the integrated roles of various nuclei. It builds on the iformation about the anatomy and physiology of the auditory pathway found in volumes 1 and 2 of the Springer Handbook of Auditory Research. Even as the first two volumes describe the structure and function of auditory pathways, this volume clarifies how these pathways lead to an animals ability to localize and interpret sounds. The authors discuss how a variety of species recognize the location of sources and complex features of sound, thus contributing to the ongoing research toward an understanding of the general functional strategies of mammalian auditory systems.
