In many vertebrates, courtship occurs through the performance of elaborate behavioral
displays that are as spectacular as they are complex. The question of how sexual selection …

INTRODUCTION Many animals live and interact as part of social groups. Social groups
present unique advantages to their members, but also necessitate viable modes of …

Deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the subthalamic nucleus (STN) is highly effective in
alleviating movement disability in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). However, its …

Neurons can be excited and inhibited by filtered signals. The filtering properties of neural
networks have a huge impact on memory, learning, and disease. In this paper, the frequency …

Highly synchronous neuronal assembly activity is deemed essential for cognitive brain
function. In theory, such synchrony could coordinate multiple brain areas performing …

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

The mammalian frontal and auditory cortices are important for vocal behavior. Here, using
local-field potential recordings, we demonstrate that the timing and spatial patterns of …

Neural oscillations are associated with diverse computations in the mammalian brain. The
waveform shape of oscillatory activity measured in the cortex relates to local physiology and …

Sound discrimination is essential in many species for communicating and foraging. Bats, for
example, use sounds for echolocation and communication. In the bat auditory cortex there …

In natural environments, background noise can degrade the integrity of acoustic signals,
posing a problem for animals that rely on their vocalizations for communication and …
