Oligodendrocytes with different morphological features work together to support precise binaural integration for sound localization in the chick brainstem auditory circuit.

The auditory and visual systems encode target location in fundamentally different ways. Nevertheless, the two modalities must provide a common representation of space to properly identify and localize ...

Differences in male and female behavior are often subject to study. Women are known to be more verbally fluent, have better manual dexterity. Men tend to excel in what are known as visuo-spatial ...

Humans can estimate distances to sound sources better when they move and exploit auditory motion parallax. The ability to estimate distances to sound sources accurately can be crucial for survival. A ...

Ishikawa, Japan-- The ability to locate sounds in the surrounding environment is a remarkable feature of the human ear. Typically, people with good hearing use both ears to detect and interpret ...

Sound localization is very popular in law enforcement circles due to its accuracy and ability to quickly separate gunshots from other similar noises. These systems don’t come cheap, and after trying ...

Vocalizations of prey species are sometimes pure-toned calls, which are more difficult to locate than multifrequency calls. Vertebrates do not locate all pure-toned sounds with the same accuracy. In a ...
