Article Synopsis
  • Rats and mice are often overlooked as models for studying binaural hearing, particularly in low-frequency sound localization via interaural time differences (ITDs), due to their head size and hearing range.
  • Recent studies reveal that the morphology and physiology of mouse medial superior olive (MSO) neurons are similar to those in other mammals that effectively use ITDs to locate sounds.
  • The research involved neuroanatomical tracing in rats, showing that the MSO is well-developed with significant connections to auditory nuclei, suggesting a potential role in sound localization despite previous assumptions about its size and significance.
