Abstract

In the early postnatal period of many mammals and in the perihatching period of chicks the auditory ranges are restricted to the species-specific low- and mid-frequency ranges. During subsequent development, the high frequency hearing expands (depending on the species) by 1-4 octaves. Adult-like audition is established between the 4th and the 7th week. It is still discussed controversially, how the extension of the auditory ranges relates to the maturation of orderly frequency representation in the cochleae of the respective species. The present review summarizes investigations of the development of tonotopy in nuclei of the central auditory system, and discusses how the centrally acquired data might contribute to the understanding of the maturation of cochlear stimulus transduction and to the development of frequency maps.
