Functional refinement in the projection from ventral cochlear nucleus to lateral superior olive precedes hearing onset in rat.

Principal neurons of the lateral superior olive (LSO) compute the interaural intensity differences necessary for localizing high-frequency sounds. To perform this computation, the LSO requires precisely tuned, converging excitatory and inhibitory inputs that are driven by the two ears and that are m...
