Locust tympanal membrane moving at 15 kHz. Note the travelling wave originates in the thin membrane on the left and is strongly attenuated in the thick membrane on the right. The region surrounding the PV, where the high frequency neurons attach, is out of phase from the rest. Measurements are in displacement (mm/s/Pa).
This research was published in the journal Proceedings of the Royal SOciety B in the paper: 'Listening to the environment: hearing differences from an epigenetic effect in solitarious and gregarious locusts' by Gordon et al.
