Multiple origins of cholinergic innervation of the cochlear nucleus

JG Mellott, SD Motts, BR Schofield - Neuroscience, 2011 - Elsevier
Acetylcholine (Ach) affects a variety of cell types in the cochlear nucleus (CN) and is likely to
play a role in numerous functions. Previous work in rats suggested that the acetylcholine …
