Neurophysiology
- Hearing on the fly: the effects of wing position on noctuid moth hearing
Summary: Noctuid moth wing position affects neural hearing sensitivity. No significant differences in eardrum movement occur; therefore, differences are hypothesized to be due to internal factors such as muscle tension.
- Odorant organization in the olfactory bulb of the sea lamprey
Summary: The lateral, dorsal and medial regions of the lamprey olfactory bulb differ based on sensory input and neural responses to amino acid, bile acid and pheromone odorants.
- Hearing ability decreases in ageing locusts
Summary: As adult locusts age, their hearing becomes less sensitive especially for lower frequencies. Furthermore, females exhibit this decrease with a larger effect, perhaps due to their gravid status.
