Determining how neuronal activity represents sensory information is central for
understanding perception. Recent work shows that neural responses at different timescales …

Summary Background During courtship, male Drosophila melanogaster sing a multipart
courtship song to female flies. This song is of particular interest because (1) it is species …

Hearing in insects serves to gain information in the context of mate finding, predator
avoidance or host localization. For these goals, the auditory pathways of insects represent …

On the single-neuron level, precisely timed spikes can either constitute firing-rate codes or
spike-pattern codes that utilize the relative timing between consecutive spikes. There has …

Directional selectivity, in which neurons respond strongly to an object moving in a given
direction (“preferred”) but respond weakly or not at all to an object moving in the opposite …

The encoding and transmission of neural information is closely related to neuronal
electrophysiological activity such as spike, burst and so on. The main purpose of the paper …

Thalamic neurons have been long assumed to fire in tonic mode during perceptive states,
and in burst mode during sleep and unconsciousness. However, recent evidence suggests …

Spike-frequency adaptation is known to enhance the transmission of information in sensory
spiking neurons by rescaling the dynamic range for input processing, matching it to the …

We examined the extent to which temporal encoding may be implemented by single
neurons in the cercal sensory system of the house cricket Acheta domesticus. We found that …

In neural prostheses, intensity modulation of a single channel (ie, through a single
stimulating electrode) has been achieved by increasing the magnitude or width of each …
