We have recently reported that the central nucleus of the inferior colliculus (the auditory
midbrain) is innervated by glutamatergic pyramidal cells originating not only in auditory …

In addition to their ascending pathways that originate at the receptor cells, all sensory
systems are characterized by extensive descending projections. Although the size of these …

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 …

The inferior colliculus (IC) is a critical nexus between the auditory brainstem and the
forebrain. Parallel auditory pathways that emerge from the brainstem are integrated in the …

Neurons in the inferior colliculus (IC) show a remarkable diversity in their responses to
sound, but it has been difficult to relate these responses to their morphology. Large cells …

Long-range descending projections from the auditory cortex play key roles in shaping
response properties in the inferior colliculus. The auditory corticocollicular projection is …

Our perceptual experience of sound depends on the integration of multiple sensory and
cognitive domains, however the networks subserving this integration are unclear …

Key points The temporal coding of sound is critical for the auditory system. Little is known
about how sound evokes the timing of synaptic currents at higher levels of the auditory …

Key points Although the visual circuits in the superior colliculus (SC) have been thoroughly
examined, the auditory circuits lack equivalent scrutiny. SC neurons receiving auditory …
