The inferior colliculus (IC) is the major midbrain auditory integration center, where virtually all ascending inputs converge. Although IC has been extensively studied for sound processing, little known about neural activity of in moving subjects, as frequently happens natural hearing conditions. Here, by recording walking mice, we show that neurons strongly modulated locomotion, even absence stimuli. Similar modulation was also found hearing-impaired demonstrating receive non-auditory,...
Much of our understanding the functional organization auditory cortex is based on relatively simple stimuli, and cortical representation complex sounds remains poorly understood. With their rich vocal communication learning behaviors, songbirds can offer insights into neural processing acoustic signals analogous to human speech. In primary forebrain area field L (primary analog) zebra finches, previous studies identified a limited set spectrotemporal receptive (STRF) types, but whether these...
Typical thermal barrier coating (TBC) systems consist of a nickel-base superalloy substrate coated with MCrAlY or diffusion aluminide bond coat, onto which is deposited yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) TBC. The coats are usually via aluminizing processes low pressure plasma spray (LPPS). YSZ can be by air spraying (APS) electron beam physical vapor deposition (EBPVD). A layer thermally-grown oxide (TGO), alumina, forms between the coat and during TBC subsequent high-temperature exposure....

Although IC has been extensively studied for sound processing, little known about neural activity of in moving subjects, as frequently happens natural hearing conditions. Here we show, by recording walking mice, neurons strongly modulated locomotion absence stimulus presentation. Similar modulation was also found deafened demonstrating that receive...
Neuronal tuning for spectral and temporal features has been studied extensively in the auditory system. In cortex, diverse combinations of have found, but how specific feature contributes to perception complex sounds remains unclear. Neurons avian cortex are spatially organized terms or widths, providing an opportunity investigating link between perception. Here, using naturalistic conspecific vocalizations, we asked whether subregions that tuned broadband more important discriminating tempo...
Mechanistic understanding of how the auditory cortex processes complex communication signals remains a challenge. With their rich vocal behaviors, songbirds can offer insights into this question. We investigated neural representation sound features in cortical areas zebra finches. In primary area field L, our systematic mapping spectrotemporal receptive fields revealed highly organized which sharpness spectral and temporal tuning is mapped along two separate anatomical axes. The clustering...
The inferior colliculus (IC) is a critical midbrain integration center for auditory and non-auditory information. Although much known about the response properties of IC neurons to stimuli, how neural circuits function during movement such as locomotion remains poorly understood. Mice offer valuable model in this respect, but previous studies mouse were performed anesthetized or restrained preparations, making it difficult study behavior. Here we describe recording protocol which mice are...
