Auditory motion processing relies on directionally tuned midbrain neurons

Evidence

It has been suggested that auditory motion processing relies on specialized circuits composed of directionally tuned and motion sensitive neurons in the midbrain (reviewed by Wagner et al. 1997 ). Time constants for processing of non-stationary dynamic cues must be short to allow tracking of moving sound sources (Wagner 1991 ). — Dijk, Pim van, Physiology, Psychoacoustics and…, 3182

• QUESTION: Are these motion-sensitive midbrain neurons genuinely specialized circuits, or do static localizing circuits suffice with temporal integration? Worth chasing.
