superior olive

Brainstem regions {superior olive} can measure time and intensity differences to differentiate auditory-signal arrival times. Olive sides {lateral superior olive} (LSO) receive inputs from both ears for intensity-level-difference detection. Olive middle {medial superior olive} (MSO) receives inputs from both ears, for time-difference detection. Neurons have time-difference ranges.
