Three-dimensional auditory localization in the echolocating bat
2016, Current Opinion in NeurobiologyCitation Excerpt :The mechanical properties of the basilar membrane of bats lay the foundation for ultrasonic hearing [31]. For example, the greater horseshoe bat, Rhinolophus ferrumequinum, produces a constant frequency (CF) sonar vocalization at around 83 kHz, and this species’ basilar membrane reveals an enlarged region that responds to the CF component of its echolocation signal [32,33]. This over representation of biologically relevant sound frequencies in the greater horseshoe bat, as well as in other CF bats, is preserved from the auditory periphery through the ascending auditory pathway [34].
Comparative aspects of cochlear functional organization in mammals
2011, Hearing ResearchCitation Excerpt :Direct measurements of TM-stiffness revealed a decrease towards apex (mice: Gueta et al., 2006; gerbil: Richter et al., 2007). The TM of mustached bats exhibits specializations related to functional specializations of hearing (Fig. 3G) that are considered to enhance its resonant properties (Henson and Henson, 1991; Vater and Kössl, 1996). In this species, TM-resonance is thought to be the major contributor to an extremely sensitive und sharply tuned cochlear response to the dominant echolocation frequency (Kössl and Vater, 1996; Kössl and Russell, 1995).
