This study shows that maternal retrieval behavior in bats is influenced by tactile pup loss and acoustic signals, with context-dependent responsiveness.

This study shows that Mongolian gerbils coordinate their ultrasonic vocalizations with their partners' vocal timing, exhibiting turn-taking behavior and reduced overlap.

This paper shows bats use Doppler shift compensation to create a silent frequency band for detecting prey by suppressing background noise and enhancing prey signal detection.

The paper shows that Japanese house bat mothers have increased heart rates when hearing calls from their own pups, indicating maternal recognition and emotional response.

The paper studies self-organized vocal behavior in bats, finding that simple rules govern frequency adjustments in response to jamming stimuli, reducing echolocation conflicts in groups.

This study shows that infrared laser stimulation of the cochlea can elicit and enhance auditory perception in gerbils, comparable to sound stimuli, and can be used to improve auditory prostheses.

This study evaluates infrared laser stimulation of the cochlea from the outer ear in Mongolian gerbils, showing it can bypass middle ear function and activate the cochlea noninvasively.

This study examines how explicit knowledge of reward irrelevancy affects reward priming in auditory decision-making, showing that explicit instruction leads to both enhancement and inhibition, while implicit instruction only results in inhibition.

This study investigates how endogenous attentional modulation changes over time when participants are unaware of the cue direction, finding that its effect is time-dependent and diminishes with longer delays.
