The etiology of hearing impairment following cochlear damage can be caused by many
factors, including congenital or acquired onset, ototoxic drugs, noise exposure, and aging …

The electric fish Apteronotus leptorhynchus emits a high‐frequency electric organ discharge
(EOD) sensed by specialized electroreceptors (P‐units). Amplitude modulations (AMs) of the …

Multiple topographic representations of sensory space are common in the nervous system
and presumably allow organisms to separately process particular features of incoming …

Alterations in synaptic strength over short time scales, termed short-term synaptic plasticity,
can gate the flow of information through neural circuits. Different information can be …

Identification of shared features between avian and mammalian auditory brainstem circuits
has provided much insight into the mechanisms underlying early auditory processing …

The earliest vertebrate ears likely subserved a gravistatic function for orientation in the
aquatic environment. However, in addition to detecting acceleration created by the animal's …

Key points Dorsal cochlear nucleus fusiform cells receive spectrally relevant auditory input
for sound localization. Fusiform cells integrate auditory with other multisensory inputs. Here …

In the avian auditory brain stem, acoustic timing and intensity cues are processed in
separate, parallel pathways via the two divisions of the cochlear nucleus, nucleus angularis …

Understanding the coding strategies used to process sensory input remains a central
problem in neuroscience. Growing evidence suggests that sensory systems process natural …

The sound localization behavior of the nocturnally hunting barn owl and its underlying
neural computations is a textbook example of neuroethology. Differences in sound timing …
