Reduced neuronal activation to repetitive stimulation is a common feature of information processing in nervous systems. Such stimulus-specific adaptation (SSA) occurs in many systems, but the underlying neural mechanisms are not well understood. The Neoconocephalus (Orthoptera, Tettigoniidae) TN-1 auditory neuron exhibits an SSA-like process, characterized by reliably detecting deviant pulses after response cessation to common standard pulses. Therefore, TN-1 provides a model system to study…

Dynamic dendritic compartmentalization underlies stimulus-specific adaptation in an insect neuron.
TLDR
It is confirmed that excitatory postsynaptic potentials rather than spiking cause the increase of dendritic calcium and sodium concentrations and that these increases remain limited to the stimulated parts of the dendrite, which supports the hypothesis of "dynamic d endritic compartmentalization" underlying SSA in this auditory interneuron.
Direction-Specific Adaptation in Neuronal and Behavioral Responses of an Insect Mechanosensory System
TLDR
The findings elucidate the subcellular mechanism underlying SSA-like neuronal plasticity related to behavioral adaptation and suggest that input-selective depression mediated by heterogeneous Ca2+ dynamics could confer the ability to detect novelty at the earliest stages of sensory processing in crickets.
Temporal processing properties of auditory DUM neurons in a bush-cricket
TLDR
In the prothoracic ganglion of a bush-cricket, a cluster of local DUM (dorsal unpaired median) neurons has recently been described and constitutes a filter bank for carrier frequency, and it is demonstrated that these neurons also constitute afilter bank for temporal patterns.
Dendritic Ca2+ dynamics and multimodal processing in a cricket antennal interneuron
TLDR
Different dendritic regions of the cricket brain neuron DBNi1-2 showed localized Ca2+ increases when three modalities of stimulation (touch of the flagellum, strain at antennal base, and visual input) were given.
Central Neural Processing of Sound Signals in Insects
TLDR
In insects, auditory pathways can be explored and analyzed at the level of identified neurons to reveal fundamental mechanisms of auditory processing related to signal detection, directional processing, frequency discrimination, pattern recognition, and coping with self-generated noise.
Neurobiology of acoustically mediated predator detection

  • Biology

TLDR
Several neuronal attributes, including steep intensity–response functions, high firing rates, and rapid spike conduction emerge as common themes of avoidance circuits in crickets, tettigoniids, moths, and mantises.
Neural Mechanisms for Acoustic Signal Detection under Strong Masking in an Insect
TLDR
Two neural mechanisms underlying the surprising behavioral signal detection at the level of single identified interneurons for signal detection are identified and are likely to be important for other sensory modalities, where noise in the communication channel creates similar problems.
Evolutionarily conserved coding properties favour the neuronal representation of heterospecific signals of a sympatric katydid species
TLDR
It is suggested that chirpers evolved an additional, 2-kHz component in their song and exploited pre-existing neuronal properties for detecting their song under masking noise, and the failure of some interneurons to respond to the conspecific song in trillers does not prevent intraspecific communication.
Auditory DUM neurons in a bush‐cricket: A filter bank for carrier frequency
TLDR
Preliminary data suggest that auditory DUM neurons have GABA as transmitter and therefore may inhibit other auditory interneurons, which appear suited for local processing relevant for acoustic communication in bush crickets.

Sensory-encoding differences contribute to species-specific call recognition mechanisms.
TLDR
The ascending interneuron pathway in three Neoconocephalus species with diverse calls and recognition mechanisms is examined and the potential function of the ascending neurons for call recognition is discussed.
Auditory change detection by a single neuron in an insect
TLDR
TN-1 responses parallel stimulus specific adaptation (SSA) described in mammalian auditory system support the hypothesis that the mechanisms underlying SSA and change-detection are located in the TN-1 dendrite, rather than the receptors.
GABAA-Mediated Inhibition Modulates Stimulus-Specific Adaptation in the Inferior Colliculus
TLDR
It is suggested that GABAA-mediated inhibition acts as a gain control mechanism that enhances SSA by modifying the responsiveness of the neuron.
Stimulus-Specific Adaptation in the Auditory Thalamus of the Anesthetized Rat
TLDR
SSA is expressed strongly in the rat auditory thalamus and contribute significantly to auditory change detection and evidence of hyperacuity in neurons at a subcortical level is recorded.
Stimulus-Specific Adaptation in the Inferior Colliculus of the Anesthetized Rat
TLDR
Some of the mechanisms that may underlie novelty detection and behavioral habituation to common sounds are already well developed at the midbrain by neurons in the inferior colliculus using an oddball stimulus paradigm.
Neurite‐specific Ca2+ dynamics underlying sound processing in an auditory interneurone
TLDR
The cricket CNS with the omega‐1‐neurone (ON1) provides a model system for auditory pattern recognition and directional processing and the functional interaction of Ca2+‐mediated inhibition and contralateral synaptic inhibition was demonstrated.
Cellular Mechanisms of Long-Lasting Adaptation in Visual Cortical Neurons In Vitro
TLDR
It is suggested that the activation of Na+-activated and Ca2-activated K+ currents plays an important role in prolonged spike-frequency adaptation and therefore may contribute to contrast adaptation and other forms of adaptation in the visual system in vivo.
Effect of Auditory Cortex Deactivation on Stimulus-Specific Adaptation in the Medial Geniculate Body
TLDR
It is reported that SSA in the auditory thalamus of the rat remains intact when the AC is deactivated by cooling, thus demonstrating that the AC will not be necessary for the generation of Ssa in theThalamus.

TLDR
Information transmission in the auditory pathway of Tettigonia viridissima was investigated using song models and artificial stimuli and the behavioural relevance of auditory interneurons is discussed and compared with the auditory system of crickets.
Stimulus-Specific Adaptation: Can It Be a Neural Correlate of Behavioral Habituation?
TLDR
The finding of a long-lasting specific adaptation in areas related to the gaze control system and not elsewhere suggests its involvement in habituation processes and opens new directions for research on mechanisms of habituation.
