The volley principle proposes that below 4,000 Hz, auditory neurons do not fire all at once but in rotation, with different groups of neurons firing in succession to achieve a combined frequency of firing that matches the frequency of the sound wave. Place theory and frequency theory both deal with how we perceive pitch, but do not address the firing mechanism of auditory neurons. "Rotational theory" is not a recognized theory in the field of auditory perception.
