Synaptic mechanisms are the groundwork for all auditory processing. Understanding them requires knowledge of the microphysiology of synapses, cellular biophysics, and  receptor pharmacology, as well as an appreciation for what unique jobs auditory synapses must carry out.  Synaptic Mechanisms in the...
