WASHINGTON, March 22 -- The Society for Neuroscience issued the following news release, dated March 19:
Alligators encode a sound's location in space like birds but differently than mammals, according to a comparative animal study published in JNeurosci. This finding provides evidence for the evolution of distinct strategies for spatial hearing.
To determine where a sound is coming from, animals glean information from how long it takes each ear to pick it up -- a cue kn . . .
