Adaptation of auditory receptors in the cricket Teleogryllus oceanicus : implications for sound localisation

Crickets rely on binaural comparisons of intensity to locate sound. Intensity can be encoded by response magnitude as well as response latency. The effects of sound intensity and pulse repetition rate on the auditory responses of the tympanal nerve were investigated. Adaptation, a decline in the res...
