The effect of the detailed connectivity of a neural circuit on its function and the resulting
behavior of the organism is a key question in many neural systems. Here, we study the …

How sensory perception is processed by the two sexes of an organism is still only partially
understood. Despite some evidence for sexual dimorphism in auditory and olfactory …

The ability to discriminate species and recognize individuals is crucial for reproductive
success and/or survival in most animals. However, the temporal order and neural …

Temperature is a critical factor in shaping the physiological and metabolic processes of
animals, notably impacting their auditory systems. Particularly, ectotherms face heightened …

Background Animal vocal signals encode very important information for communication
during which the importance of temporal and spectral characteristics of vocalizations is …

The characteristics of acoustic signals co-evolve with preferences of the auditory sensory
system. However, how the brain perceives call variations and whether it can reveal …

Sex differences in vocalization have been commonly found in vocal animals. It remains
unclear, however, how animals perceive and discriminate these differences. The amplitudes …

Visual lateralization is a typical characteristic of many vertebrates; however, its underlying
dynamic neural mechanism is unclear. In this study, predatory responses and dynamic brain …

How sexually dimorphic behavior is encoded in the nervous system is poorly understood.
Here, we characterize the dimorphic nociceptive behavior in C. elegans and study the …

Vocal communications in frogs and toads have been highly diversified and become a hot
topic in the fields of herpetology, ecology, and behavioral neuroscience. The present short …
