The effect of electrical and L-glutamate stimulation of the nucleus locus coeruleus (LC) and nucleus raphe magnus (NRM) on multiunit activity evoked in the nucleus tractus solitarius (NTS) by activation of arterial ...

Background: Rats distinguish objects differing in surface texture by actively moving their vibrissae. In this paper we characterized some aspects of texture sensing in anesthetized rats during active touch. We analyzed the ...

A major challenge in current neuroscience is to understand the concerted functioning of distinct neurons involved in a particular behavior. This goal first requires achieving an adequate characterization of the behavior ...

Simultaneous recordings from multiple neural units allow us to investigate the activity of very large neural ensembles. To understand how large ensembles of neurons process sensory information, it is necessary to develop ...

The auditory sensitivity in three species of the anuran genus Alytes (Alytidae) was examined to determine patterns of intra- and interspecific variation, relating these measurements to behavioural preferences measured in ...

The efficiency of acoustic communication depends on the power generated by the sound source, the quality of the environment across which signals propagate, the environmental noise and the sensitivity of the intended receivers. ...

The efficiency of acoustic communication depends on the power generated by the sound source, the attributes of the environment across which signals propagate, the environmental noise and the sensitivity of the intended ...
