Humans have more distinctive hearing than animals, study shows
Do humans hear better than animals? It is known that various species
of land and
water-based living creatures are capable of hearing some lower and
higher
frequencies than humans are capable of detecting. However, scientists
from the
Hebrew University of Jerusalem and elsewhere have now for the first
time
demonstrated how the reactions of single neurons give humans the
capability of
detecting fine differences in frequencies better than animals.
They did this by utilizing a technique for recording the activity of
single
neurons in the auditory cortex while subjects were exposed to sound
stimuli. The
auditory cortex has a central role in the perception of sounds by the
brain.
