For decades, the corticofugal descending projections have been anatomically well
described but their functional role remains a puzzling question. In this review, we will first …

For 100 years, the Journal of Comparative Physiology-A has significantly supported
research in the field of neuroethology. The celebration of the journal's centennial is a great …

The ability to vocalize is ubiquitous in vertebrates, but neural networks underlying vocal
control remain poorly understood. Here, we performed simultaneous neuronal recordings in …

Background noise strongly penalizes auditory perception of speech in humans or
vocalizations in animals. Despite this, auditory neurons are still able to detect …

Echolocation behavior, a navigation strategy based on acoustic signals, allows scientists to
explore neural processing of behaviorally relevant stimuli. For the purpose of orientation …

Animals extract behaviorally relevant signals from 'noisy'environments. Echolocation
behavior provides a rich system testbed for investigating signal extraction. When …

Echolocating bats emit biosonar calls and use echoes arising from call reflections, for
orientation. They often pattern their calls into groups which increases the rate of sensory …

Although acoustic communication is inevitably influenced by noise, behaviorally relevant
sounds are perceived reliably. The noise-tolerant and-invariant responses of auditory …

Objective. The auditory system is extremely efficient in extracting auditory information in the
presence of background noise. However, people with auditory implants have a hard time …

Le système auditif est extrêmement efficace pour extraire de l'information pertinente en
présence d'un bruit de fond. Par contre, les algorithmes de rehaussement de la parole …
