Modeling Neurons of the Inferior Colliculus

Abstract

The MiCRAM project has been developing detailed neural models of the inferior colliculus (IC) as the basis for understanding the neural networks that underlie early auditory processing at that level. The initial phase of this project has been to develop biologically plausible models of the physiologically distinct cell types of the IC. This has led to the recognition that some of the gross behavior that produces delay sensitivity may be the result of detailed dynamic interactions between multiple channels.
