This chapter will examine those aspects of the ontogeny of the inferior colliculus that can be compared with the adult condition. The emphasis, in doing so, will be identification of those adult characteristics—tonotopic order and frequency selectivity, discharge patterns, and binaural responses—that are genetically determined and those that are based on, or moulded by, postnatal experience. For a much wider account of the development of the auditory midbrain, the reader is directed to the comprehensive review by Moore (1983).
