Neural Mechanism of Hearing in Insects

چکیده
INTRODUCTION Since the work of Wever & Bray (1933) many electrophysiological studies have been made on sound reception in insects and it has been established that their receptive organs can readily detect the direction of sound and can discriminate its intensity, but not its frequency (Pumphrey, 1940; Autrum, 1955). More recently Haskell (1956, 1957), Haskell & Belton (1956), and Roeder & Treat (1957) have studied this problem further, and the ultrasonic reception in noctuid moths has also been confirmed by electrophysiological methods. From the view point of the comparative auditory physiology the present authors have tried to clarify the neural mechanism of hearing in insects by means of the same technique as they have used in recent studies of mammals. This report will be concerned with the results obtained from several kinds of insect which are very common in Japan.

Effect of sound classification by neural networks in the recognition of human hearing
In this paper, we focus on two basic issues: (a) the classification of sound by neural networks based on frequency and sound intensity parameters (b) evaluating the health of different human ears as compared to of those a healthy person. Sound classification by a specific feed forward neural network with two inputs as frequency and sound intensity and two hidden layers is proposed. This process...
متن کاملSensory-Neural Hearing Loss as an Early Rebound Relapse after Fingolimod Cessation in Multiple Sclerosis
Introduction: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a lifelong disease of the brain and spinal cord. Fingolimod is an oral drug which modulates the S1P receptor and is used for relapsing remitting form of MS and can causes rebound activity if it is ceased even in a short period of washout time. Case Report: Here, we introduce a young girl, a known case of MS, who developed revers...

Introduction: A hearing– impaired patient is defined as one with abnormal or reduced function in hearing resulting from an auditory disorder. The goal of any preschool and schools screening program should be to accurately indentify those children whose hearing has been impaired due to conductive and / or sensory– neural pathology. Methods: This cross– sectional descriptive study was done on 57...
متن کاملEvaluation of relationship between skin involvement and hearing loss in patients with vitiligo
Vitiligo is a common acquired depigmented disorder of the skin that can lead to social negative outcomes, including reduced quality of life. Melanocytes disorder can also occur within other organs, such as ear. Different areas of the inner ear, such as the cochlear duct and vestibular system, have melanocytes. This study was conducted with the aim of evaluating the relationship between skin inv...
متن کاملFrequency of Congenital Heart Diseases in Prelingual Sensory-Neural Deaf Children
Introduction: Hearing impairment is the most frequent sensorial congenital defect in newborns and has increased to 2–4 cases per 1,000 live births. Sensory-neural hearing loss (SNHL) accounts for more than 90% of all hearing loss. This disorder is associated with other congenital disorders such as renal, skeletal, ocular, and cardiac disorders. Given that congenital heart diseases are life-thre...
