Abstract
In bats the auditory system and the vocalization system have a close functional relation to each other during acoustic communication as well as during echolocation. In many species the spectral parameters of the emitted echolocation sounds are adapted to the special echolocation tasks during a behavioral sequence. In order to control the parameters of the echolocation sounds appropriately the relevant information has to be transmitted from the auditory to the motor system.
