耳のずれたフクロウ:聴覚空間認識の脳内機構

Studies on the brain mechanisms of their sound localization represent a case where many important questions in sensory physiology can be addressed in a straightforward way. This article will review our current understanding of how neurons in the owl's auditory system create their selectivity to position of sounds.
