This study demonstrates differential optogenetic excitation of two spatially separated points in the auditory midbrain of freely moving mice, showing behavioral detection and discrimination of optogenetic stimulation.

The paper investigates how sustained activation of parvalbumin-positive interneurons in auditory cortex affects divisive gain control across different stimulus types.

This study shows that gap detection thresholds remain stable in aged mice with preserved peripheral hearing, suggesting peripheral, not central, processing determines this task.
