Social learning (SL) through experience with conspecifics can facilitate the acquisition of
many behaviors. Thus, when Mongolian gerbils are exposed to a demonstrator performing an …

The process by which sensory evidence contributes to perceptual choices requires an
understanding of its transformation into decision variables. Here, we address this issue by …

Elevated neural plasticity during development contributes to dramatic improvements in
perceptual, motor, and cognitive skills. However, malleable neural circuits are vulnerable to …

10.7554/eLife.33891.001 Sensory deprivation during development induces lifelong
changes to central nervous system function that are associated with perceptual impairments. …

Sensory-driven decisions are formed by accumulating information over time. Although parietal
cortex activity is thought to represent accumulated evidence for sensory-based decisions, …

Stream segregation enables a listener to disentangle multiple competing sequences of
sounds. A recent study from our laboratory demonstrated that cortical neurons in anesthetized …

Core auditory cortex (AC) neurons encode slow fluctuations of acoustic stimuli with temporally
patterned activity. However, whether temporal encoding is necessary to explain auditory …

According to the World Health Organization, ∼15 million children are born prematurely each
year. Many of these infants end up spending days to weeks in a neonatal intensive care …

The rat is a widely used species for study of the auditory system. Psychophysical results from
rats have shown an inability to discriminate sound source locations within a lateral hemifield…

Background Vestibular loss and dysfunction has been associated with cognitive deficits,
decreased spatial navigation, spatial memory, visuospatial ability, attention, executive function, …
