Interesting Neural Networks:
Some actually occur in brains; some are
hypotheses
Owl Audition
•
The Barn Owl uses delay lines and coincidence detectors (neurons that only
fire when both pre-synaptic axons are simultaneously depolarized) to locate
objects in horizontal and vertical plane.

Each animal species can perform many different gaits.
Do we need a different wiring pattern for each gait?
No! (Golubitsky, Stewart, Collins, Buono (1997))
Goal: A single circuit with adjustable delay times.
Solution: For an N-legged animal, 2 cross-linked N-neuron loops.

Neural Oscillators from 10-40 Hz
Cerebral Cortex

1. A start signal (e.g. Dance instructor says
”Begin”): STN excites SNr, which
then inhibits all cortical oscillators,
so they essentially RESET to off.
2. Oscillators then resume their normal
diverse firing patterns, from same
init state.
3. A stop signal (e.g. Dance instructor…):
SNc releases dopamine into
striatum, causing striatal cells to
record the current time signature via

Non-associate Learning: Strengthen pre-synaptic axon since:
a) it fired/depolarized, and b) significant event (STOP) signalled.
After learning, S will only fire when B & D are active (i.e. after a time interval
of duration = t1). Details are unclear as to whether A & C develop inhibitory
links to S.
In future (e.g. when repeating the dance), the instructor still says ”Go”, which
again resets the cortical oscillators, but now the brain generates its own
”STOP” signal in the striatum, when S fires => student has learned t1!
Given enough diverse oscillators, student can learn ANY interval.
Cricket Phonotaxis
• Webb, B. (2001). Biorobotics: Methods & Applications, Ch. 1.
• Female Crickets only respond to songs with particular carrier
frequencies and syllable durations.
Left
Ear Drum
• Syllable Duration
• Carrying Frequency = 1/Inter-syllable period
Right
Ear Drum
Bug
Off!
Preferred Carrier Frequency
Distance between the two ear-drums is the critical determinant. If it’s ONE
QUARTER the song’s inter-syllable wavelength, then the eardrums vibrate
most strongly. Here P = period of the sound wave.

Time T
Peak
•
Time T+P/2
Trough
•
•
•
•
From T to T+P/4, the peak travels across the
body and meets the right eardrum, causing it
to vibrate, thus generating a new peak.
From T+P/4 to T+P/2, the new peak travels
exactly 1/4 wavelength = ear-to-ear distance.
At time T+P/2, the left ear has a) a trough on
the outside, and b) a peak on the inside.
That’s a max pressure difference => the
eardrum is maximally stimulated.
The cricket is happy!!
Preferred Syllable Duration
• Appears to be determined in the brain, but details only partially known.
• Biorobotics researchers (Webb et. al.) provide minimal ANNs that are
sufficient explanations.

• Each auditory neuron stimulates the
corresponding motor neuron and
inhibits the opposite motor neuron.
• Each of the 4 neurons has a very
detailed (but standard) model: leaky

• AN => MN synapses are temporarily
depressed after the AN fires

Habituation
When a neuron fires weakly, but frequently, its axonal synapses weaken.
After a little rest, the synapse returns to normal strength.

•
Assume a stimulus on the left side of the cricket.
High frequency (short wavelength) sound has a quickly-decaying amplitude
with distance, so the left ear gets a stronger signal than the right.
Syllable
Incoming sound
• Neuron ANL integrates the inputs from the left ear drum and fires
groups of pulses with durations = syllable durations.
ANL Response
• This inhibits motor neuron MNR but stimulates MNL, which
integrates the inputs from ANL and eventually begins to fire.
However, it integrates more slowly than ANL and therefore fires less
frequently.
MNL Response
• The cricket turns left. It is attracted to the song.
Null Poeng
•
Stimulus again from left side, but now the syllables are very short and frequent..
Syllable
Incoming sound
• Neuron ANL integrates the inputs from the left ear drum and fires
constantly, with very few significant gaps.
ANL Response
• This inhibits motor neuron MNR and stimulates MNL.
• But, now the ANL-MNL synapse habituates due to the constant firing
of ANL (and hence no break in which to regain strength).
• So the signals that ANL sends to MNL are WEAK, and MNL never
integrates enough charge to fire.
MNL Response
• The cricket is not interested.
Another Loser
•
Stimulus again from left side, but now the syllables are very long, with a large gap
between syllables..
Syllable
Incoming sound
• Neuron ANL integrates the inputs from the left ear drum and fires long
sets of pulses with long gaps.
ANL Response
• This inhibits motor neuron MNR and stimulates MNL.
• But, now the gap is too long: MNL almost fires during a syllable, but
then a lot of voltage LEAKS out during the inter-syllable gap.
• So although ANL’s signals are strong, MNL leaks too much and can
never integrate enough charge to fire.
MNL Response
• This is cricket is very picky!
