So spatial code of frequency has to do with which hair cell is beign stimulated and which part of organ of corti. Temporal code tells us about frequency by looking at oneee hair cell. 1000hz cuz hair cell can"t fire much faster than that. This has to do with action potentials that has activated but then has to build up itz resting potentials, a minimal of time /b/ 2 action potentials, a. p limited. This diff from photoreceptors that can be faster. You can still go beyond that cuz u have more than 1 hair cell but then u still have to join all thediff neurons together and when joining neurons it can"t be that accurate, another limitation.
