▪ Abstract Vertebrate animals gain biologically important information from environmental
sounds. Localization of sound sources enables animals to detect and respond appropriately …

This study proposes a classification system for neurons in the central nucleus of the inferior
colliculus (ICC) that is based on excitation and inhibition patterns of single-unit responses in …

AMPA receptors mediate rapid glutamatergic synaptic transmission. In the mammalian
cochlear nuclei, neurons receive excitatory input from either auditory nerve fibers, parallel …

In an effort to establish relationships between cell physiology and morphology in the dorsal
cochlear nucleus (DCN), intracellular single-unit recording and marking experiments were …

Certain distinct populations of neurons in the dorsal cochlear nucleus are inhibited by a
neural source that is responsive to a wide range of acoustic frequencies. In this study, we …

The dorsal cochlear nucleus receives input from the auditory nerve and relays acoustic
information to the inferior colliculus. Its principal cells receive two systems of inputs. One …

The type II unit is a prominent inhibitory interneuron in the dorsal cochlear nucleus (DCN),
most likely recorded from vertical cells. Type II units are characterized by low rates of …

A computational model of a portion of dorsal cochlear nucleus neural circuitry was used to
investigate relationships between connectivity and response properties of type IV units. The …

Local collateral projections from the medial superior olivary nucleus in the gerbil auditory
brainstem were examined to study the possible communication of this nucleus with …

The ventral nucleus of the lateral lemniscus (VNLL) is a major auditory nucleus that sends a
large projection to the inferior colliculus. Despite its prominence, the responses of neurons …
