Sensory information acquires meaning to adaptively guide behaviors. Despite odors
mediating a number of vital behaviors, the components of the olfactory system responsible for …

Bats are among the most gregarious and vocal mammals, with some species demonstrating
a diverse repertoire of syllables under a variety of behavioral contexts. Despite extensive …

Critical animal behaviors, especially among rodents, are guided by odors in remarkably well-coordinated
manners, yet many extramodal sensory cues compete for cognitive resources …

The ventral striatum is critical for evaluating reward information and the initiation of goal-directed
behaviors. The many cellular, afferent, and efferent similarities between the ventral …

… Gadziola et al. show that while both posterior piriform cortex (pPCX) and olfactory tubercle
(OT) neurons accurately encode learned reinforced odors, OT neurons differ from those in the …

Acoustic communication signals carry information related to the types of social interactions
by means of their “acoustic context,” the sequencing and temporal emission pattern of …

The amygdala plays a central role in evaluating the significance of acoustic signals and
coordinating the appropriate behavioral responses. To understand how amygdalar responses …

Mouse pups vocalize at high rates when they are cold or isolated from the nest. The proportions
of each syllable type produced carry information about disease state and are being used …

The neurotransmitter serotonin (5-HT) is considered a powerful modulator of sensory system
