Abstract

In the trout lower midbrain 35% of the auditory neurons are directionally selective (DS). Most of these neurons have a higher directional selectivity than the sensory hair cells. DS units and non-DS units occur in vertical clusters, with the former more dorsally. The direction of preference is topographically mapped. Apparently, auditory space mapping is a common feature in the midbrain of vertebrates
