Despite the ubiquitous nature of sleep, its functions remain a mystery. In an attempt to
address this, many researchers have studied behavioural and electrophysiological …

Natural selection has given rise to an exceptional diversity of animals. Here, we explore this
diversity as it relates to sleep behavior and neurophysiology. We provide a comprehensive …

What is the most humane way to kill amphibians and small reptiles that are used in
research? Historically, such animals were often killed by cooling followed by freezing, but …

The neurophysiology of non‐rapid eye movement sleep is characterized by the occurrence
of neural network oscillations with distinct origins and frequencies, which act in concert to …

Accumulating evidence reveals that neuronal oscillations with various frequency bands in
the brain have different physiological functions. However, the frequency band divisions in …

Vocal Communication plays a crucial role in survival and reproductive success in most
amphibian species. Although amphibian communication sounds are often complex …

Species that use communication sounds to coordinate social and reproductive behavior
must be able to distinguish vocalizations from nonvocal sounds as well as to identify …

Right-ear/left-hemisphere advantage (REA) in processing species-specific vocalizations has
been demonstrated in mammals including humans. Two models for REA are typically …

Simple Summary This study delves into the turning behavior of pigeons by examining the
neural mechanisms of their midbrain motor nucleus. Correlating brain oscillations with …

The objective of this study was to determine electroencephalographic and complementary
physiologic changes in Xenopus leavis frogs after bath immersion in MS222. We also …
