Vocal-tract resonances (or formants) are acoustic signatures in the voice and are related to
the shape and length of the vocal tract. Formants play an important role in human …

We characterized the electroresponsive and morphological properties of neurons in the bed
nucleus of the stria terminalis (BNST). Previously, Rainnie and colleagues distinguished …

Automatic classification of vocalization type could potentially become a useful tool for acoustic
the monitoring of captive colonies of highly vocal primates. However, for classification to …

Intrinsic connections in the anterior portion of the bed nucleus of the stria terminalis (BNST-A)
were studied using patch recordings and ultraviolet (UV) glutamate uncaging (GU) in vitro. …

Object perception and categorization can occur so rapidly that behavioral responses precede
or co-occur with the firing rate changes in the object-selective neocortex. Phase coding …

The efficient cortical encoding of natural scenes is essential for guiding adaptive behavior.
Because natural scenes and network activity in cortical circuits share similar temporal scales, …

A highly conserved network of brain structures regulates the expression of fear and anxiety in
mammals. Many of these structures display abnormal activity levels in post-traumatic stress …

Given the importance of auditory feedback in vocal production, how can deaf individuals
produce intelligible speech? A new study suggests that somatosensory feedback is the answer …

Given the exploding interest in generative AI and the concern that a few companies like
Microsoft will monopolize access to such models, we address this centralization risk in the …

Blockchains rely on a consensus among participants to achieve decentralization and security.
However, reaching consensus in an online, digital world where identities are not tied to …
