Document Summary
The act of producing sound by rubbing together certain body parts. (wings in crickets and legs/wing in grasshoppers) Neural network responsible for the production of organized, rhythmically correct patterns of activity without any reference to the external environment. Neuron that can turn on the cpg, may be group of neurons. Locomotion (of a receiver) towards or away from a sound source. Basic multicellular structure for hearing, one component is a sensory neuron. Neuron responsible for converting various external stimuli that come from the environment into corresponding internal stimuli. Responds to cricket sounds (lower frequencies), come closer! Bat detecting neuron in crickets (higher frequencies), run away! Responsible for inhibition of ans in other ear, allows the cricket to better track direction of sound. The difference in the activity of the two sides of the nervous system. Process by which some neurons inhibit contralateral neurons to enhance binaural contrast. Used as a tool for localization of sound among other processes.
