a Influence of modulation depth on rMTF and tMTF of two representative neurons. b Modulation thresholds (in dB) for various neurons. For the definition of modulation threshold see “Materials and methods”. Note that a more negative dB value indicates a better resolution of modulation depth. A non-parametric ANOVA revealed highly significant differences (P = 0.0094) between the neuron classes; however, Dunn’s post hoc test indicates a significant difference only between ascending neurons and primary-like LN (P < 0.01), all other combinations: n.s.
