Abstract
Signal source localization, not only in invertebrate animals, is supported at the level of the ascending sensory pathways by a neural circuit producing inhibition between the subchannels specific to each body side. This serves to increase activity contrast between subchannels opposed and adjacent to the signal source, and thus directs the next movements of the signal receiver.
