✦ Synopsis

Single unit activity from the VI and VII lobuli of the cerebellar vermis cortex was studied following acoustical stimulation with sound signals of different parameters. Cerebellar neurons, as compared to those from the auditory system, showed low selectivity to sound frequency, intensity and duration. However, about 2/3 of the neurons were selectively sensitive to interaural time and intensity differences; about 1/3 of neurons showed a specific response to signals simulating sound motion in a definite direction. Thus, cerebellar neurons seem to be mainly responsive to those sound parameters which are essential for sound localization.

Sixty-three cells in the superior temporal gyrus of awake squirrel monkeys were tested with 8 species-specific vocalizations plus noise, clicks and tones. Identical series of stimuli were repeatedly presented over 1-5 hour intervals. The responses elicited by both vocalizations and artificial stimul
