Frequency analysis is a fundamental function of the auditory system, and it is essential to study the auditory response properties using behavior-related sounds. Our previous study has shown that the inferior collicular (IC) neurons of CF-FM (constant frequency-frequency modulation) bats could be classified into single-on (SO) and double-on (DO) neurons under CF-FM stimulation. Here, we employed Pratt's roundleaf bats,  Hipposideros pratti , to investigate the frequency selectivity of SO and DO neurons in response to CF and behavior-related CF-FM sounds using  in vivo  extracellular recordings. The results demonstrated that the bandwidths (BWs) of iso-frequency tuning curves had no significant differences between the SO and the DO neurons when stimulated by CF sounds. However, the SO neurons had significant narrower BWs than DO neurons when stimulated with CF-FM sounds.  In vivo  intracellular recordings showed that both SO and DO neurons had significantly shorter post-spike hyperpolarization latency and excitatory duration in response to CF-FM in comparison to CF stimuli, suggesting that the FM component had an inhibitory effect on the responses to the CF component. These results suggested that SO neurons had higher frequency selectivity than DO neurons under behavior-related CF-FM stimulation, making them suitable for detecting frequency changes during echolocation.
