Neuronal cell types are the nodes of neural circuits that determine the flow of information
within the brain. Neuronal morphology, especially the shape of the axonal arbor, provides an …

The familiar buzz of flying mosquitoes is an important mating signal, with the fundamental
frequency of the female's flight tone signaling her presence. In the yellow fever and dengue …

10.7554/eLife.06203.001 During courtship males attract females with elaborate behaviors.
In mice, these displays include ultrasonic vocalizations. Ultrasonic courtship vocalizations …

Mosquito flight produces a tone as a side effect of wing movement; this tone is also a
communication signal that is frequency-modulated during courtship. Recordings of tones produced …

Background Drosophila melanogaster has served as a powerful model system for genetic
studies of courtship songs. To accelerate research on the genetic and neural mechanisms …

The ability to optically image cellular transmembrane voltages at millisecond-timescale
resolutions can offer unprecedented insight into the function of living brains in behaving animals. …

It is unclear where in the nervous system evolutionary changes tend to occur. To localize
the source of neural evolution that has generated divergent behaviors, we developed a new …

Some of the most complex auditory neurons known are contained in the songbird forebrain
nucleus HVc. These neurons are highly sensitive to auditory temporal context: they respond …

Sound plays an important role in the mating behavior of mosquitoes, including Aedes
aegypti (L). Males orient to the fundamental wing beat frequency of females, and both sexes …

Mice (Mus musculus) form large and dynamic social groups and emit ultrasonic vocalizations
in a variety of social contexts. Surprisingly, these vocalizations have been studied almost …
