Before revision: Mechanism Binaural hearing Action potentials originate in the hair cells of the cochlea and propagate to the brainstem; both the timing of these action potentials and the signal they transmit provide information to the SOC about the orientation of sound in space.
After revision: Mechanism Binaural hearing Action potentials originate in the hair cells of the cochlea and propagate to the brainstem; both the timing of these action potentials and their rate provide information to the SOC about the orientation of sound in space.
