The ability to localize sound sources has obvious survival value, whether for prey or predator. Many vertebrates, including humans, make use of ITDs to localize sounds in the horizontal plane. These ...

The computations performed by sensory cortex involve large neuronal populations 1,2 whose activity must evolve over time to code an ever-changing sensory input. We sought to understand the rules that ...

2025年3月11日，加州理工学院生物与生物工程系David J. Anderson团队在Neuron发表“Population coding of predator imminence in the hypothalamus”，揭示了下丘脑中捕食者紧迫性的群体编码。 下丘脑VMHdm SF1 神经元被捕食者线索激活，并且对于本能防御反应是必要且充分的。然而 ...
