Phase-locked responses to pure tones in the inferior colliculus.

In the auditory system, some ascending pathways preserve the precise timing information present in a temporal code of frequency. This can be measured by studying responses that are phase-locked to the stimulus waveform. At each stage along a pathway, there is a reduction in the upper frequency limit of the phase-locking and an increase in the steady-state latency. In the guinea pig, phase-locke...

Serotonin in the inferior colliculus.

It has been recognized for some time that serotonin fibers originating in raphe nuclei are present in the inferior colliculi of all mammalian species studied. More recently, serotonin has been found to modulate the responses of single inferior colliculus neurons to many types of auditory stimuli, ranging from simple tone bursts to complex species-specific vocalizations. The effects of serotonin...

Linguistic Adaptations for Resolving Ambiguity

We motivate a model of human parsing and ambiguity resolution on the basis of psycholinguistic and typological data. Analysis of spoken and written corpora suggests that ambiguity is a factor in the choice of relativization strategy for English and supports the model’s predictions. Within an evolutionary account of language, we predict that languages will adapt over time so that prosodic and sy...

Gesture and its impact of resolving lexical ambiguity

The study aimed to shed light on the use of gesture in resolving lexical ambiguity employed by TEFL students. To this end, 60 intermediate Iranian learners, studying at Kish Way Language School in Iran were recruited. The participants were randomly put into two experimental groups and one control group. Both of the experimental groups received the same teaching approach, i.e. teaching homonyms ...

Neural tuning for sound duration: role of inhibitory mechanisms in the inferior colliculus.

Duration is a biologically important feature of sound. Some neurons in the inferior colliculus of the big brown bat, Eptesicus fuscus, are tuned to sound duration, but it is unclear at what level the tuning originates or what neural mechanisms are responsible for it. The application of antagonists of the inhibitory neurotransmitters gamma-aminobutyric acid or glycine to neurons in the inferior ...
