Abstract

Sound pressure level changes can affect the timing of spiketrains. Timing of spiketrains is critical for sensitivity to interaural timing differences (ITDs). Interaural level differences (ILDs) can therefore affect the ITD cue. It has been hypothesized that ILDs may be coded indirectly through a peripheral conversion of level to time (but it should be cautioned that the changes in phase with SPL in low-CF AN fibers of the cat are more complicated) (Jeffress, L.A., 1948. A place theory of sound localization. J. Comp. Physiol. Psychol. 41, 35-39). We tested this conversion by recording from auditory nerve fibers to broadband noise at different SPLs. For each fiber, correlograms were constructed to compare timing to fine-structure across SPLs. We find generally a decrease in the time delay between spikes and the stimulus with increasing SPL. However, the magnitudes of the shift in time are surprisingly small, and dependent on characteristic frequency (CF): the largest shifts are approximately 10 micros/dB and occur at the lowest CFs. Nevertheless, the effects of level on spike timing are systematic and of a magnitude to which the binaural system is sensitive. Thus, even though the results indicate that ILD is not traded for ITD in...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
