All animals face the essential task of extracting biologically meaningful sensory information
from the 'noisy'backdrop of their environments. Here, we examine mechanisms used by …

The mammalian superior colliculus (SC) and its non-mammalian homolog, the optic tectum
are implicated in sensorimotor transformations. Historically, emphasis on visuomotor …

Understanding how neural populations encode natural stimuli with complex spatiotemporal
structure to give rise to perception remains a central problem in neuroscience. Here we …

Unlike other predators that use vision as their primary sensory system, bats compute the
three-dimensional (3D) position of flying insects from discrete echo snapshots, which raises …

Precise temporal coding is necessary for proper acoustic analysis. However, at cortical level,
forward suppression appears to limit the ability of neurons to extract temporal information …

For the purpose of orientation, echolocating bats emit highly repetitive and spatially directed
sonar calls. Echoes arising from call reflections are used to create an acoustic image of the …

Rapid categorization of vocalizations enables adaptive behavior across species. While
categorical perception is thought to arise in the neocortex, humans and other animals could …

A growing body of research details spatial representation in bat hippocampus, and
experiments have yet to explore hippocampal neuron responses to sonar signals in animals …

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a diverse condition with an intricate pathobiology. Cortex plays
a role in regulating body movements, executive function, and cognitive control and serves as …

The brain is one of the most complex organs in nature. In this organ, multiple neurons,
neuron clusters, or multiple brain regions are interconnected to form a complex structural …
