Regarding the MSO instead ({ref}`lso_mso`), the different curves represent the activity of four neurons in the left MSO for which we varied only the value of the time constants of the decay in conductance generated by input spikes for both excitatory (`tau_decay_exc`) and inhibitory (`tau_decay_inh`) inputs. We observed that different combinations of these two values provided coding for a specific angle achieved by a peak at different angles (and thus different ITD values) in that cell's activity. As observed experimentally, all peaks were present in the contralateral sound space, thus confirming the hypothesis that, in contrast to the coding strategy applied in the LSO, higher activity is present in the MSO for sounds from the contralateral space.

Regarding simulations in which the MSO receives only excitatory inputs ({ref}`blocked_inh`), a loss in the coding of different contralateral angles is evidenced by a symmetric firing rate curve, with all the peak values being higher and shifted towards 0° angles with respect to the physiological activity, as measured experimentally in {cite:t}`Brand2002` and {cite:t}`Pecka2008`.
