abstract：:The recognition and localization of sound signals is fundamental to acoustic communication. Complex neural mechanisms are thought to underlie the processing of species-specific sound patterns even in animals with simple auditory pathways. In female crickets, which orient towards the male's calling song, current models...

abstract：:Most neurons of the mammalian central nervous system (CNS) lose the ability to regenerate severed axons in vivo after a certain point in development. At least part of this loss in regenerative potential is intrinsic to neurons. Although embryonic retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) can grow axons into tectum of any age, mos...
