GABAergic and non-GABAergic projections to the superior colliculus from the auditory brainstem

JG Mellott, NL Beebe, BR Schofield - Brain Structure and Function, 2018 - Springer
The superior colliculus (SC) contains an auditory space map that is shaped by projections
from several subcortical auditory nuclei. Both GABAergic (inhibitory) and excitatory cells …

Auditory cortical axons contact commissural cells throughout the guinea pig inferior colliculus

KT Nakamoto, CS Sowick, BR Schofield - Hearing research, 2013 - Elsevier
Projections from auditory cortex (AC) affect how cells in both inferior colliculi (IC) respond to
acoustic stimuli. The large projection from the AC to the ipsilateral IC is usually credited with …

Anatomical characterization of subcortical descending projections to the inferior colliculus in mouse

MB Patel, S Sons, G Yudintsev… - Journal of …, 2017 - Wiley Online Library
Descending projections from the thalamus and related structures to the midbrain are
evolutionarily highly conserved. However, the basic organization of this auditory …

[HTML][HTML] Distribution of GABAergic cells in the inferior colliculus that project to the thalamus

JG Mellott, NL Foster, KT Nakamoto… - Frontiers in …, 2014 - frontiersin.org
A GABAergic component has been identified in the projection from the inferior colliculus (IC)
to the medial geniculate body (MG) in cats and rats. We sought to determine if this …

[HTML][HTML] Descending projections from auditory cortex to excitatory and inhibitory cells in the nucleus of the brachium of the inferior colliculus

JG Mellott, ME Bickford, BR Schofield - Frontiers in systems …, 2014 - frontiersin.org
Descending projections from the auditory cortex (AC) terminate in subcortical auditory
centers from the medial geniculate nucleus (MG) to the cochlear nucleus, allowing the AC to …

[HTML][HTML] Subcollicular projections to the auditory thalamus and collateral projections to the inferior colliculus

BR Schofield, JG Mellott, SD Motts - Frontiers in Neuroanatomy, 2014 - frontiersin.org
Experiments in several species have identified direct projections to the medial geniculate
nucleus (MG) from cells in subcollicular auditory nuclei. Moreover, many cochlear nucleus …

Subtypes of GABAergic cells in the inferior colliculus

BR Schofield, NL Beebe - Hearing research, 2019 - Elsevier
The inferior colliculus occupies a central position in ascending and descending auditory
pathways. A substantial proportion of its neurons are GABAergic, and these neurons …

[HTML][HTML] Patterns of unilateral and bilateral projections from layers 5 and 6 of the auditory cortex to the inferior colliculus in mouse

N Vaithiyalingam Chandra Sekaran… - Frontiers in Systems …, 2021 - frontiersin.org
The auditory cortex sends massive projections to the inferior colliculus, but the organization
of this pathway is not yet well understood. Previous work has shown that the corticocollicular …

Descending projections from the inferior colliculus to the dorsal cochlear nucleus are excitatory

G Milinkeviciute, MA Muniak… - Journal of Comparative …, 2017 - Wiley Online Library
Ascending projections of the dorsal cochlear nucleus (DCN) target primarily the contralateral
inferior colliculus (IC). In turn, the IC sends bilateral descending projections back to the …

Projections to the inferior colliculus from layer VI cells of auditory cortex

BR Schofield - Neuroscience, 2009 - Elsevier
A large injection of a retrograde tracer into the inferior colliculus of guinea pigs labeled two
bands of cells in the ipsilateral auditory cortex: a dense band of cells in layer V and a second …
