Natural vocalizations in the mammalian inferior colliculus are broadly encoded by a small number of independent multi-unit clusters

How complex natural sounds are represented by the main converging center of the auditory midbrain, the central inferior colliculus, is an open question. We applied neural discrimination to determine the variation of detailed encoding of individual vocalizations across the best frequency gradient of...
