Binocular vision emerges from the coordinated development of orbit convergence, eye orientation, and high-acuity retinal specializations

This study shows binocular vision develops through coordinated changes in orbital orientation, retinal structure, and neural projections in Octodon degus.

Rapid and Stimulus-Specific Deviance Detection in the Human Inferior Colliculus

This study uses auditory brainstem responses to show rapid, stimulus-specific deviance detection in the human inferior colliculus, aligning with animal findings and bridging human and animal research gaps.

Deviance detection in subthalamic neural population responses to natural stimuli in bats

This study investigates deviance detection in bat auditory brainstem responses to natural stimuli, showing stronger responses to echolocation pulses than social calls or artificial sounds.

A neuron model with unbalanced synaptic weights explains asymmetric effects of ketamine in auditory cortex

The paper develops a neuron model with unbalanced synaptic weights to explain how ketamine affects auditory cortex responses differently to echolocation and communication sounds in bats.

Acoustic context modulates natural sound discrimination in auditory cortex through frequency specific adaptation

The paper shows that acoustic context modulates sound discrimination in auditory cortex through frequency-specific adaptation and stimulus-unspecific adaptation.

Echolocation reverses information flow in a cortical vocalization network

This study shows that echolocation in bats reverses information flow in the fronto-auditory cortical network, with bottom-up transfer during echolocation and top-down during communication.

Enhanced representation of natural sound sequences in the ventral auditory midbrain

The paper investigates how natural sound sequences are represented in the ventral auditory midbrain of bats, finding that mutual information and redundancy increase with depth regardless of sound type.

Phase-amplitude coupling profiles differ in frontal and auditory cortices

The paper compares phase-amplitude coupling (PAC) profiles in frontal-auditory field and auditory cortex of bats, showing distinct frequency ranges for coupling in each region.

Fronto-temporal coupling dynamics during spontaneous activity and auditory processing

This study examines the functional connectivity between the frontal auditory field and auditory cortex in bats during spontaneous activity and auditory processing, revealing distinct coding strategies and coupling dynamics.

Precision of auditory responses deteriorates on the way to frontal cortical areas

The paper compares auditory response properties of neurons in the bat frontal auditory field and auditory cortex, finding sparser and less precise spiking in the frontal area.
