Brainstem olivocochlear neurons (OCNs) modulate the earliest stages of auditory
processing through feedback projections to the cochlea and have been shown to influence …

The human auditory system encodes sound with a high degree of temporal and spectral
resolution. When hearing fails, existing neuroprosthetics such as cochlear implants may …

Acetylcholine (ACh) is a prevalent neurotransmitter throughout the nervous system. In the
brain, ACh is widely regarded as a potent neuromodulator. In neurons, ACh signals are …

Feedback networks in the brain regulate downstream auditory function as peripheral as the
cochlea. However, the upstream neural consequences of this peripheral regulation are less …

Acetylcholine modulates responses throughout the auditory system, including at the earliest
brain level, the cochlear nucleus (CN). Previous studies have shown multiple sources of …

Auditory brainstem neurons in the lateral superior olive (LSO) receive excitatory input from
the ipsilateral cochlear nucleus (CN) and inhibitory transmission from the contralateral CN …

Efferent neurons are believed to play essential roles in maintaining auditory function. The
lateral olivocochlear (LOC) neurons—which project from the brainstem to the inner ear …

The lateral superior olive (LSO), a prominent integration center in the auditory brainstem,
contains a remarkably heterogeneous population of neurons. Ascending neurons …

The nonlinearities of the inner ear are often considered to be obstacles that the central
nervous system has to overcome to decode neural responses to sounds. This review …

The aim of this study was to identify key proteins of synaptic transmission in the cochlear
nucleus (CN) that are involved in normal hearing, acoustic stimulation, and tinnitus. A gene …
