... Bottlenose dolphin Echolocation The stereological analyses of the primary cortical areas include two different methods to obtain rigorous data for comparison with other species: the optical fractionator and the Cavalieri principle [Gundersen, 1986; West et al., 1991; Schmitz and Hof, 2005; Eriksen...

...Emanuel C. Mora; Yohami Fernández; Julio Hechavarría; Martha Pérez Frequency alternation in the echolocation of insectivorous bats has been interpreted in relation to ranging and duty cycle, i.e. advantages for echolocation. The shifts in frequency of the calls of these so-called two-tone bats...

... of variation of the indices of the basal insectivores.Microchiroptera have, in general, a much better developed acoustic system. The relationship between the degree of development of the acoustic nuclei and the feeding habits as well as echolocative skills has been discussed. Fish-eating Noctilio leporinus has...

...W. Edward Sullivan Evidence for ''coincidence detection'' or temporal summation mechanisms of temporal-pattern processing is presented for interaural-phase comparison in the barn owl''s brainstem and echo delay sensitivity in the auditory cortex of the echolocating bat Myotis lucifugus. In each...

... with the activity of neurons in the inferior colliculus. Motor activites may modify neural processing in inferior colliculus neurons. The rate at which information is transmitted to the thalamus is regulated by the inferior colliculus. 8 1 2008 Inferior colliculus Neuroethology Echolocation Auditory...

... Nuclei Although the background for the theory arose in part from an attempt to relate physiological phenomena in the IC of bats to echolocation behavior, one piece of evidence that was especially influential was the fact that most neu­ rons in the IC and higher centers can not be driven al a rapid rate...

...John M. Ratcliffe; M. Brock Fenton; Sara J. Shettleworth We investigated the potential relationships between foraging strategies and relative brain and brain region volumes in predatory (animal-eating) echolocating bats. The species we considered represent the ancestral state for the order...
