Investigators working with fish bioacoustics used to refer to fishes that have a narrow
hearing bandwidth and poor sensitivity as “hearing generalists”(or “non-specialists”), while …

Seasonal changes in reproductive-related vocal behavior are widespread among fishes.
This review highlights recent studies of the vocal plainfin midshipman fish, Porichthys …

Vocalizations communicate information indicative of behavioural state across divergent
social contexts. Yet, how brain regions actively pattern the acoustic features of context …

The senses of hearing and balance are subject to modulation by efferent signaling,
including the release of dopamine (DA). How DA influences the activity of the auditory and …

Fishes have evolved the largest diversity of inner ears among vertebrates. While G. Retzius
introduced us to the diversity of the gross morphology of fish ears in the late nineteenth …

Across vertebrates, the midbrain periaqueductal gray (PAG) plays a critical role in social and
vocal behavior. Dopaminergic neurotransmission also modulates these behaviors, and …

Dopamine is integral to attentional and motivational processes, but studies are largely
restricted to the central nervous system. In mammals [1, 2] and fishes [3, 4], central …

The communication behaviors of vocal fish and electric fish are among the vertebrate social
behaviors best understood at the level of neural circuits. Both forms of signaling rely on …

Dopaminergic neurons of the descending diencephalospinal system are located in the
posterior tuberculum (PT) in zebrafish (Danio rerio), and correspond in mammals to the A11 …

The response of sensory neurons to stimuli can be modulated by a variety of factors
including attention, emotion, behavioral context, and disorders involving neuromodulatory …
