This is cool -- I've been thinking about dolphin echolocation and subcortical circuits recently (e.g., now in press - www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...). Seems a lot is happening between IC and cerebellum in dolphins (who do click socially), presumably in support of rapid sensorimotor prediction.
Lateralized cerebellar connectivity differentiates auditory pathways in echolocating and non-echolocating whales
We report the first application of diffusion tractography to a mysticete, which was analyzed alongside three odontocete brains, allowing the first direct comparison of strength and laterality of audit...
