The polarization pattern of skylight provides a compass cue that various insect species use
for allocentric orientation. In the desert locust, Schistocerca gregaria, a network of neurons …

Phase locking of auditory-nerve-fiber (ANF) responses to the temporal fine structure of
acoustic stimuli, a hallmark of the auditory system's temporal precision, is important for many …

Neurons of the cerebellar nuclei convey the final output of the cerebellum to their targets in
various parts of the brain. Within the cerebellum their direct upstream connections originate …

Information processing in the nervous system critically relies on temporally precise spiking
activity. In the auditory system, various degrees of phase-locking can be observed from the …

Phase locking of auditory-nerve-fiber (ANF) responses to the fine structure of acoustic stimuli
is a hallmark of the auditory system's temporal precision and is important for many aspects of …

The vector strength, a number between 0 and 1, is a classical notion in biology. It was first
used in neurobiology by Goldberg and Brown (J Neurophys 31: 639–656, 1969) but dates …

Auditory processing disorder is the most common problem affecting veterans after blast
exposure, but the distinct impacts of blast-related traumatic brain injury and blast-related …

A wide variety of neurons encode temporal information via phase-locked spikes. In the avian
auditory brainstem, neurons in the cochlear nucleus magnocellularis (NM) send phase …

Background Precise spike synchrony, at the millisecond or even sub-millisecond time scale,
has been reported in different brain areas, but its neurobiological meaning and its …

Interaural time difference (ITD), or the difference in timing of a sound wave arriving at the two
ears, is a fundamental cue for sound localization. A wide variety of animals have specialized …
