We are testing a new system for linking grants to scientists.
The funding information displayed below comes from the
NIH Research Portfolio Online Reporting Tools and the
NSF Award Database.
The grant data on this page is limited to grants awarded in the United States and is thus partial. It can nonetheless be used to understand how funding patterns influence mentorship networks and vice-versa, which has deep implications on how research is done.

Auditory Motion Processing Along the Range Axis @ University of Maryland College Pk Campus
[unreadable] DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The proposed research investigates how auditory neurons in the midbrain superior colliculus (SC) of the echolocating bat, Eptesicus fuscus, respond to the motion of sounds along the range axis (Aim I) and examines how the temporal features of sounds affect the spatial tuning of SC neurons (Aim II). The echolocating bat presents an excellent model system to study auditory motion processing because of the role the SC plays in its ability to track and capture moving insect prey. The experiments under Aim I use extracellular recordings from single SC neurons to test three hypotheses in a head-fixed, passively listening bats: (1) that SC neurons show selective responses to direction of motion along the range axis, (2) that SC neurons show response field shifts in the direction opposite of a sounds motion, and (3) that SC neurons are tuned to a sound's motion velocity. The experiments under Aim II use extracellular recording from single neurons to test two hypotheses of how auditory spatial tuning in the SC is affected by the pulse interval (PI) with which simulated echolocation cries and returning echoes are presented: (1) that the spatial tuning of SC neurons sharpens at lower PIs and (2) that stable PIs are necessary for echo-delay tuned responses.
