When temporal terms belie conceptual order

Article Abstract:

Time is seen as a sequential order of real-world events, and this colours how time is spoken about. The way in which written statements referring to the temporal order of events is considered, and how such computations are carried out by contrasting brain potentials throughout two sentence types, differing only in their initial word. Immediate and lasting consequences for neural processing are shown.

The role of dendrites in auditory coincidence detection

Article Abstract:

Sound localization in mammals and birds uses coincidence-detector neurons in the auditory brainstem to map interaural time differences. A new study uses a simple computational model to simulate the known geometry and electrophysiology of the cells to show that dendrites are able to improve their coincidence detection properties.
