Zusammenfassung:	How does the brain process the diversity of sounds that the ear can hear? This question lies at the center of this book, a comprehensive source of knowledge written by internationally renowned experts from both sides of the Atlantic. Richly illustrated, this volume covers the structure and function of the central auditory system of mammals in a unique format intended to make the information useful to both beginners and experienced researchers. It starts with a concise overview of the entire subject in the first chapter, and then provides an in-depth treatment of all levels of the central auditory pathway in the next four chapters. The idea is to provide a single reference source at a level suitable to advanced students of neurobiology and auditory science, as well as seasoned researchers in these fields. Otolaryngologists and neurologists should also find this book informative and useful.
