Two fundamental aspects of frequency analysis shape the functional organization of primary
auditory cortex. For one, the decomposition of complex sounds into different frequency …

Highlights•Bat echolocation is a preadaptation for sophisticated vocal communication.•Thus,
bats are a highly promising taxon for studies on vocal production learning.•There is …

The brain's cerebral cortex decomposes visual images into information about oriented
edges, direction and velocity information, and color. How does the cortex decompose …

Multi-unit electrophysiological map** was used to establish the area of the left-and right-
hemisphere auditory cortex (AC) of the mouse and to characterize various fields within the …

Echolocating bats transmit ultrasonic vocalizations and use information contained in the
reflected sounds to analyze the auditory scene. Auditory scene analysis, a phenomenon that …

Auditory cortical columns have been studied for decades, but intracolumnar processing in
auditory cortex is still poorly understood, relative to what is known about such processsing in …

Although it has been recognized that echolocating bats may experience jamming from the
signals of conspecifics, research on this problem has focused exclusively on time-frequency …

Complex vocalizations, such as human speech and birdsong, are characterized by their
elaborate spectral and temporal structure. Because auditory neurons of the zebra finch …

Modulations of amplitude and frequency are common features of natural sounds, and are
prominent in behaviorally important communication sounds. The mammalian auditory cortex …

Abstract Properties of sequence-sensitive neurons in primary auditory cortex of cats were
explored in detail. Stimuli were sequences of two tones, in which the frequency and intensity …
