“This is an in-depth discussion of the CNS pathways involved in hearing pathways. Auditory afferents, efferents, and their reciprocal connections in rats, cats, monkeys, and other species are discussed with an emphasis on the circuitry. … This is a good book for neurophysiologists, researchers, neurologists, and audiologists.” (Joseph Grenier, Amazon.com, June, 2018)
