Sounds Of Survival

The video explores the research of biologist Christine Portfours, who studies mouse vocalizations to understand how their brains distinguish between different sounds. This research involves experiments that mimic a reality show, where female mice choose mates based on male vocalizations. By mapping neural responses, Portfours aims to uncover insights into human brain function and potential treatments for hearing loss.

What role do individual neurons play in the discrimination of sounds in the study?

What potential future applications could arise from the mapping of mouse brain sounds?
