Description:
Some of the neurons in the nucleus intercollicularis and auditory cortex of the echolocating bat Eptesicus fuscus respond selectively to sonar echoes occurring with specific echo delays or pulse-echo intervals. They do not respond for a wide range of other types of sounds or for sonar echoes at longer or shorter pulse-echo intervals; they may, therefore, be specialized for detection and ranging of sonar targets.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Feng, A S -- Simmons, J A -- Kick, S A -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1978 Nov 10;202(4368):645-8.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/705350" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
