A functional organization of binaural responses in the inferior colliculus

Binaural responses are segregated within an enlarged isofrequency region of the mustache bat's inferior colliculus. In the part of this region containing E-I responses, there is an orderly shift in the sensitivity of unit clusters to interaural intensity disparities, having implications for the representation of auditory space within isofrequency regions of the inferior colliculus.
