Book ChapterDOI
The Role of Conduction Delay in Creating Sensitivity to Interaural Time Differences.
TL;DR: It is proposed that the auditory system "coarsely" matches ipsilateral and contralateral latencies using physical delay lines, so that inputs arrive at NL at about the same time, and then "finely" match latency modulo 2π to achieve microsecond ITD precision.
Journal ArticleDOI
Identification of auditory neurons by retrograde labelling for patch-clamp recordings in a mixed culture of chick brainstem.
TL;DR: A method to identify specific sub-populations of auditory neurons in a mixed primary cell culture of the chicken brainstem, allowing the study of individual neurons with a known identity in vitro, and can be combined with single cell PCR to match nuclear origin, firing patterns and the expression of functional molecules in vitro.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
The impact of uropygial gland secretions on mechanically induced wearing of barn owl and pigeon body feathers
TL;DR: In insights into the material fatigue of feathers and the decelerating effect of uropygial gland secretions on wear are yielded, which suggest that feathers become more wettable when worn.
Posted ContentDOI
Dipolar extracellular potentials generated by axonal projections
TL;DR: Modelling action potentials propagating along axons showed that EFPs were prominent in the presence of a terminal zone where axons branch and terminate in close succession, as found in many brain regions, and predicted a dipolar far field and a polarity reversal at the center of the terminal zone.
Journal ArticleDOI
EvoDevo in owl ear asymmetry-The little owl (Athene noctua).
TL;DR: It is shown that a small, but significant ear asymmetry occurs in the embryonic development of little owls, despite the presence of symmetrical ears in adults, which is interpreted as an indication of a secondarily evolved diurnal activity inlittle owls.
