Artist rendering of overall map of auditory cortex, with magnifying glass zooming in to individual neurons within defined sector.
We identified neural correlates of this behavioral effect in the optic tectum (OT, superior colliculus in mammals), which contains a map of auditory space and is involved in generating orienting movements to sounds.
It also implies some sort of map of auditory space in the IC which does not, in fact, exist.
It was not our intention to imply that there may be a map of auditory space in the ICs.
This map of auditory cortical fields was superimposed on a picture of the AC with its individual pattern of blood vessels.
The neurons' best ITD is correlated with the preferred azimuth in the map of auditory space of the owl's ICx (Moiseff and Konishi, 1983).

Thus, frequency-dependent ITD tuning is observed not only in cases where best ITDs fall largely out of the physiological range, such as in small rodents (McAlpine et al., 2001; Brand et al., 2002), but also in maps of auditory space where neurons are tuned to physiological ITDs, such as in the owl (Wagner et al., 2007).
Because hearing loss triggers plastic changes in the tonotopic map of the auditory cortex, frequencies at the edge of the hearing loss region end up to be overrepresented [5].
Here we have used a combination of electrophysiological, neuropharmacological and neuroanatomical techniques to investigate whether a global inhibitory interconnectivity pattern for object segregation is indeed realized in the circular periodicity map of the auditory cortex.
In summary, all of these initial recordings from an individual AC together constituted the map of the auditory cortical fields for this animal, as shown in the example of Fig. 1.
However, in comparison with existing maps of macaque auditory cortex, activations in human auditory cortex reveal more extensive activations in non-tonotopic regions that are lateral and posterior to the tonotopic representations.
