The acoustic flutter is processed through complementary monotonic rate coding and cannot be modulated by other acoustic parameters in the auditory cortex (AC). However, it remains unclear how the inferior colliculus (IC) encodes acoustic flutter, especially when changing other acoustic parameters. Here, we recorded IC neural activity in response to acoustic flutter and determined the existence of conjunctive processing between...

Carp oedema virus disease (CEVD), caused by the carp oedema virus (CEV), results in significant economic losses to the common carp and koi aquaculture industry. The CEVD symptoms resemble those of koi herpesvirus (KHV) and include lethargy, swollen gills, sunken eyes, and skin haemorrhages. Consequently, the development of efficient detection methods is imperative for the prevention and diagnosis of CEVD. In this study, we dev...
