Mosquitoes are more sensitive to sound than any other insect due to the remarkable
properties of their antennae and Johnston's organ at the base of each antenna. Male …

Hearing loss is a significant problem that affects at least 15% of the population. This
percentage, however, is likely significantly higher because of a variety of auditory disorders …

Vocalizations play a significant role in social communication across species. Analyses in
rodents have used a limited number of spectro-temporal measures to compare ultrasonic …

The laboratory mouse is an emerging model for context-dependent vocal signaling and
reception. Mouse ultrasonic vocalizations are robustly produced in social contexts. In adults …

Recurrent deletions and duplications at chromosomal region 16p11. 2 are variably
associated with speech delay, autism spectrum disorder, developmental delay …

Efficient sensory coding implies that populations of neurons should represent information-
rich aspects of a signal with little redundancy. Recent studies have shown that neural …

Offset responses upon termination of a stimulus are crucial for perceptual grouping and gap
detection. These gaps are key features of vocal communication, but an ionic mechanism …

An essential task of the auditory system is to discriminate between different communication
signals, such as vocalizations. In everyday acoustic environments, the auditory system …

Rapid behavioral responses to unexpected events in the acoustic environment are critical
for survival. Stimulus-specific adaptation (SSA) is the process whereby some auditory …

Age-related hearing loss (presbycusis) is a chronic health condition that affects one-third of
the world population. One hallmark of presbycusis is a difficulty hearing in noisy …
