If I recall correctly, bats can do ~1 microsecond discrimination as part
of how they process echoes - specifically, IIRC, bats can discriminate a
one-microsecond difference in echo arrival time between one ear and the
other. This would, however, be in the category of "many neurons doing
clever things".
