Nitric oxide (NO) is a versatile molecule that plays key roles in the development and survival
of mammalian species by endowing brain neuronal networks with the ability to make …

In this article we present a review of current literature on adaptations to altered head-related
auditory localization cues. Localization cues can be altered through ear blocks, ear molds …

Descending projections from sensory areas of the cerebral cortex are among the largest
pathways in the brain, suggesting that they are important for subcortical processing …

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 …

Audible frequencies of sound are encoded in a continuous manner along the length of the
cochlea, and frequency is transmitted to the brain as a representation of place on the basilar …

Descending corticofugal projections are thought to play a critical role in shaping the
responses of subcortical neurons. Here, we examine the origins and targets of ferret auditory …

The inferior colliculus (IC) is unique, having both glutamatergic and GABAergic projections
ascending to the thalamus. Although subpopulations of GABAergic neurons in the IC have …

The inferior colliculus (IC) is a critical integration center in the auditory pathway. However,
because the inputs to the IC have typically been studied by the use of conventional …

The inferior colliculus (IC) receives its major ascending input from the cochlear nuclei, the
superior olivary complex, and the nuclei of the lateral lemniscus. To understand better the …

In addition to ascending auditory inputs, the external cortex of the inferior colliculus (ICX)
receives prominent somatosensory inputs. To elucidate the extent of interaction between …
