Can somebody please translate the summary of this paper (page 1) into language that high schoolers can understand? Thanks.

 

I am trying to work on a science project involving the relationship between external sound and cricket chirps, and I want to check if this article has anything to do with my topic.

 

Thank you!

That is a bit tricky for high-school, I think. The essence is that the author present a summary of how the sound formation in crickets and grasshoppers is regulated on the neuronal level. In the summary special areas are mentioned that, when stimulated, results in the release of the song. It also mentions a regulatory circuit that reduces the propensity to chirp as response to its own song.
