Cognition as a Conservation Tool: A Case Study of Florida Manatees and Boat Strikes
ABSTRACT Boat strikes injure and kill large numbers of Florida manatees (Trichechus manatus latirostris) each year. Management actions taken to mitigate this threat can be potentially enhanced by consideration of manatee cognitive processes. The role of cognition in marine mammal conservation has received little consideration in the literature.

Saccade learning with concurrent cortical and subcortical basal ganglia loops [PDF]
The Basal Ganglia is a central structure involved in multiple cortical and subcortical loops. Some of these loops are believed to be responsible for saccade target selection.

Abstract figure legend Our study demonstrates that both GABA and glycine mediate inhibitory postsynaptic currents in the ventrolateral/ventromedial medulla (VLM/VMM) and increasing the activity of inhibitory synapses facilitates glycine release. We found that presympathetic VLM/VMM neurons receive glycinergic inputs, which release both glycine and GABA,

Frequency modulations occur in many natural sounds, including vocalizations. The neuronal response to frequency modulated (FM) stimuli has been studied extensively in different brain areas, with an emphasis on the auditory cortex and the central nucleus ...

Abstract Neuromodulatory subcortical systems (NSSs) are uniquely susceptible to dementia‐related pathology, leading to frequent molecular and behavioral impairments associated with altered function of these nuclei. Some of these systems display clear sex‐specific cytoarchitecture and signaling leading to distinct physiology and behavioral outputs in ...

Brain Bases for Navigating Acoustic Features
We examined the human brain system for navigation to a remembered target through an acoustic environment defined by spectral density. We demonstrate the involvement of sites including the hippocampus and orbitofrontal cortex that also support physical navigation.

The dorsal (DCIC) and lateral cortices (LCIC) of the inferior colliculus are major targets of the auditory and non-auditory cortical areas, suggesting a role in complex multimodal information processing.

Neural delays shape selectivity to interaural intensity differences in the lateral superior olive [PDF]
Neurons in the lateral superior olive (LSO) respond selectively to interaural intensity differences (IIDs), one of the chief cues used to localize sounds in space.

ABSTRACT Succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) serves a dual function as complex II of the electron transport chain and an enzyme of the tricarboxylic acid cycle. Pathogenic variants in subunits of SDH result in diverse clinical presentations, including typically autosomal recessive neurodegenerative disorders. Biallelic variants in the SDHA subunit most often

In glaucoma, the output neurons of the retina, the retinal ganglion cells (RGCs), progressively degenerate, leading to irreversible blindness (Ahram et al., 2015).
