Neuronal and behavioral sensitivity to binaural time differences in the owl

A Moiseff, M Konishi - Journal of Neuroscience, 1981 - Soc Neuroscience
We demonstrated that ongoing time disparity (OTD) was a sufficient cue for the azimuthal
component of receptive fields of auditory neurons in the owl (Tyto alba) midbrain and that …

Time and intensity cues are processed independently in the auditory system of the owl

T Takahashi, A Moiseff, M Konishi - Journal of Neuroscience, 1984 - Soc Neuroscience
Space-specific neurons, found in the barn owl's inferior colliculus, respond selectively to a
narrow range of interaural time and intensity differences. We show that injecting a local …

Steering responses of flying crickets to sound and ultrasound: mate attraction and predator avoidance

A Moiseff, GS Pollack, RR Hoy - Proceedings of the …, 1978 - National Acad Sciences
We investigated the steering responses of tethered, flying adult female crickets (Teleogryllus
oceanicus) to acoustic stimulation. Crickets responded directionally to directional sound …

Binaural characteristics of units in the owl's brainstem auditory pathway: precursors of restricted spatial receptive fields

A Moiseff, M Konishi - Journal of Neuroscience, 1983 - Soc Neuroscience
The barn owl uses binaural phase and intensity differences for sound localization. These
two cues also determine the receptive fields of specialized neurons in the inferior colliculus. …

[PDF][PDF] Bi-coordinate sound localization by the barn owl

A Moiseff - Journal of Comparative Physiology A, 1989 - utsc.utoronto.ca
… Similar behavioral responses can be elicited by dichotic sounds delivered to owls through
earphones (Moiseff and Konishi 1981). Under these conditions, the owl still performs stereotyped …

Cochlear nucleus neurons redistribute synaptic AMPA and glycine receptors in response to monaural conductive hearing loss

B Whiting, A Moiseff, ME Rubio - Neuroscience, 2009 - Elsevier
Neurons restore their function in response to external or internal perturbations and maintain
neuronal or network stability through a homeostatic scaling mechanism. Homeostatic …

Firefly synchrony: a behavioral strategy to minimize visual clutter

A Moiseff, J Copeland - Science, 2010 - science.org
Most firefly species (Coleoptera: Lampyridae) use bioluminescent flashes for signaling. In
some species, the flashing between males occurs rhythmically and repeatedly (synchronically) …

Binaural disparity cues available to the barn owl for sound localization.

A Moiseff - Journal of comparative physiology. A, Sensory, neural …, 1989 - europepmc.org
1. Bilateral recording of cochlear potentials was used to measure the variations in interaural
time differences (ITDs) and interaural intensity differences (IIDs) as a free-field auditory …

An artificial neural network for sound localization using binaural cues

MS Datum, F Palmieri, A Moiseff - The Journal of the Acoustical Society …, 1996 - pubs.aip.org
A three‐layer neural network is used to estimate the direction of a sound source from the
signals detected by two directional, spatially separate receivers. Although the implemented …

The occurrence of synchrony in the North American fireflyPhotinus carolinus (Coleoptera: Lampyridae)

J Copeland, A Moiseff - Journal of Insect Behavior, 1994 - Springer
Synchronous flashing has been described for some Southeast Asian fireflies but has rarely
been reported in North American fireflies. Our field observations indicated thatPhotinus …
