Abstract

In this chapter, we summarize current knowledge and advances in understanding spatial coding principles in mammals and attempt to settle some of the associated controversies by highlighting common misconceptions. Specifically, we emphasize to make clear distinctions between spatial representations associated with the encoding (i.e., the translation of the physical sound property) of spatial cues on the one hand and the transformational representations at downstream stages on the other hand. We further review insight provided by considering the evolutionary legacy of neuronal processing motives underlying spatial coding. Finally, we summarize principal characteristics of mammalian spatial coding, namely dynamic context-dependent modulation and experience-dependent plasticity.
