...Dan Bagger-Sjöbäck The basilar papilla of the lizard Calotes versicolor contains two different types of sensory cells. The ventral part of the organ is populated by the short-haired type A sensory cells whereas the dorsal part is populated by the long-haired type B sensory cells. The type A sensory...

... and synthetic call notes of 100 msec duration, whereas preliminary results suggest that females respond preferentially to the second note in the male''s call. In the present study, we first show that the basilar papilla in the inner ear is tuned differently in males and females. Comparisons were next made...

...Anne C. Keddy-Hector; Walter Wilczynski; Michael J. Ryan We determined the influence of body size on the male advertisement call''s dominant frequency and basilar papilla''s (BP) tuning in male and female cricket frogs (Acris crepitans) in two Texas populations (Wimberley and Stengel Ranch...

... and one from Indiana and compared them to the tuning of basilar papilla afferents in males and females. Averaging over all populations, mean call dominant frequency was 3.69 kHz, mean male basilar papilla tuning was 3.63 kHz, and mean female basilar papilla tuning was 3.17 kHz. Among populations, mean...

...B. Hellmann; B. Fritzsch The claimed absence of efferents to the basilar papilla in frogs was reexamined in Xenopus laevis with the use of acetylcholinesterase (AChE) histochemistry. We also tested the presence of common lateral line and inner ear efferents by employing neuroanatomical tract...

... species had similar sensitivity profiles, with a broad area of enhanced sensitivity from 100 to 1,100 Hz, which we presume represents amphibian papilla (AP) tuning, and a second, narrower area of enhanced sensitivity centered above 2,100 Hz, which we presume represents basilar papilla (BP) tuning. For all...
