The functions of the medial geniculate body (MGB) in normal hearing still remain somewhat
enigmatic, in part due to the relatively unexplored properties of the non-lemniscal MGB …

Sequencing of the rat genome has allowed a better understanding of the rat physiology and
biology, in turn promising to translate into a better understanding of human biology and …

Accumulating evidence suggests a role for inhibitory neurotransmitter dysfunction in the
pathology of tinnitus. Opposing hypotheses proposed either a pathologic decrease or …

A remarkable ability of animals that is critical for survival is to detect and respond to to
unexpected stimuli in an ever-changing world. Auditory neurons that show stimulus-specific …

Auditory thalamus (medial geniculate body [MGB]) receives ascending inhibitory GABAergic
inputs from inferior colliculus (IC) and descending GABAergic projections from the thalamic …

Large GABAergic (LG) neurons form a distinct cell type in the inferior colliculus (IC),
identified by the presence of dense VGLUT2‐containing axosomatic terminals. Although …

The thalamic reticular nucleus (TRN) occupies a highly strategic position to modulate
sensory processing in the thalamocortical loop circuitries. It has been shown that TRN visual …

Although neurons within intact nervous systems can be classified as 'sensory'or 'motor,'it is
not known whether there is any general distinction between sensory and motor neurons at …
