The auditory modality is fundamentally a temporal sense that requires analysis of changes
in sound signals on timescales ranging from microseconds to minutes. To generate a faithful …

The ability to detect time intervals and temporal patterns is critical to some of the most
fundamental computations the brain performs, including the ability to communicate and …

Cholecystokinin (CCK) enables excitatory circuit long-term potentiation (LTP). Here, we
investigated its involvement in the enhancement of inhibitory synapses. Activation of GABA …

It has been proposed that sound information is separately streamed into onset and offset
pathways for parallel processing. However, how offset responses contribute to auditory …

Acoustic communication is important in the reproductive behaviour of anurans. The acoustic
repertoire of most species consists of several call types, but some anurans gradually …

Sexual traits that promote species recognition are important drivers of reproductive isolation,
especially among closely related species. Identifying neural processes that shape species …

Across sensory systems, complex spatio-temporal patterns of neural activity arise following
the onset (ON) and offset (OFF) of stimuli. While ON responses have been widely studied …

Somatosensory neurons have historically been classified by a variety of approaches,
including structural, anatomical, and genetic markers; electrophysiological properties; …

Background Species interactions can promote mating behavior divergence, particularly
when these interactions are costly due to maladaptive hybridization. Selection against …

Female honeybees use the “waggle dance” to communicate the location of nectar sources to
their hive mates. Distance information is encoded in the duration of the waggle phase …
