Neurons in primary auditory cortex represent sound source location in a cue-invariant manner

The brain's auditory cortex is involved not just in detection of sounds, but also in localizing them. Here, the authors show that neurons in ferret primary auditory cortex (A1) encode the location of sound sources, as opposed to merely reflecting spatial cues.
