Inhibitory inputs for the avian brain stem originate primarily from the superior olivary nucleus (SON). We describe three intrinsic phenotypes of SON neurons and show how they differ in their temporal processing and projection patterns. We propose that the two types of tonic firing neurons (including one novel type) and the single-spiking neurons in SON comprise separate feedback circuits that may differentially influence the auditory information flowing via the cochlear nuclei and nucleus laminaris.
