▪ Abstract Echolocating bats use audition to guide much of their behavior. As in all
vertebrates, their lower brainstem contains a number of parallel auditory pathways that …

Ehrlich, Daphna, John H. Casseday, and Ellen Covey. Neural tuning to sound duration in
the inferior colliculus of the big brown bat, Eptesicus fuscus. J. Neurophysiol. 77: 2360 …

A general statement of the function of the inferior colliculus is lacking, even after more than
three decades of electrophysiological investigation. A neuroethological theory is proposed …

1. Single-unit recordings were made in the auditory midbrain, the torus semicircularis (TS) of
the northern leopard frog, to independently characterize the processing of different temporal …

Temporal computations are important in the acoustic communication of anurans. In many
cases, calls between closely related species are nearly identical spectrally but differ …

Neurophysiol. 77: 2642–2660, 1997. Most neurons of the auditory pathway discharge spikes …

Advertisement calls, auditory tuning, and larynx and ear morphology were examined in 3
neotropical frogs, Hyla microcephala, H. phlebodes and H. ebraccata, H. microcephala has …

The significance of particular acoustic properties of advertisement calls for selective
phonotaxis by the gray treefrog, Hyla versicolor (= HV), was studied behaviorally and …

This study examined the mechanisms underlying amplitude modulation selectivity in the
anuran auditory midbrain. Single units were recorded extracellularly in the torus …

Auditory pattern recognition by the CNS is a fundamental process in acoustic
communication. Because crickets communicate with stereotyped patterns of constant …
