Due to advances in automated image acquisition and analysis, whole-brain connectomes
with 100,000 or more neurons are on the horizon. Proofreading of whole-brain automated …

The evolution of hearing in terrestrial animals has resulted in remarkable adaptations
enabling exquisitely sensitive sound detection by the ear and sophisticated sound analysis …

Directional hearing in insects: biophysical, physiological and ecological challenges |
Journal of Experimental Biology | The Company of Biologists Skip to Main Content …

Diverse animal species, from insects to humans, utilize acoustic signals for communication.
Studies of the neural basis for song or speech production have focused almost exclusively …

Johnston's organ is the largest mechanosensory organ in Drosophila. It contributes to
hearing, touch, vestibular sensing, proprioception, and wind sensing. In this study, we used …

Wind is a major navigational cue for insects, but how wind direction is decoded by central
neurons in the insect brain is unknown. Here we find that walking flies combine signals from …

Acoustic communication between insects serves as an excellent model system for analyzing
the neuronal mechanisms underlying auditory information processing. The detailed …

Animals communicate using sounds in a wide range of contexts, and auditory systems must
encode behaviorally relevant acoustic features to drive appropriate reactions. How feature …

To faithfully encode complex stimuli, sensory neurons should correct, via adaptation, for
stimulus properties that corrupt pattern recognition. Here we investigate sound intensity …

Historically, diverse organisms have contributed to our understanding of auditory function. In
recent years, the laboratory mouse has become the prevailing non-human model in auditory …
