Electrophysiological study reveals auditory experience's importance for spatial tuning in neonatal rats, suggesting new stimulation strategies.
These findings provide direct physiological evidence that early auditory experience is critical for refining the frequency-organized connectivity in the auditory midbrain. The preferential degradation of apical (low-frequency) spatial tuning offers translational insights for optimizing stimulation strategies in early-onset deafness.
