There is extensive evidence that ethanol interacts with a variety of neurotransmitters.
Considerable research indicates that the major actions of ethanol involve enhancement of …

γ-Aminobutyric acid (GABA), acting at GABAA receptors, mediates inhibition in inferior
colliculus (IC) central nucleus (ICc) neurons and plays a prominent role in mediating …

The inferior colliculus (IC)(Fig. 7.1) occupies a strategic position in the central auditory
system. Evidence reviewed in this chapter indicates that it is an interface between lower …

Excitatory and inhibitory frequency response areas of 130 neurons of the central nucleus of
the mouse inferior colliculus (ICC) were mapped by extracellular single-unit recordings and …

The inferior colliculus (IC) is the first place in the central auditory pathway where duration-
selective neurons are found. Previous neuropharmacological and electrophysiological …

The inferior colliculus (IC) is a major auditory structure that integrates synaptic inputs from
ascending, descending, and intrinsic sources. Intracellular recording in situ allows direct …

Different type neurons in the inferior colliculus may have different functions. Recent
intracellular studies of the inferior colliculus suggest that intrinsic electrical properties …

An organism's ability to detect and discriminate sensory inputs depends on the recent
stimulus history. For example, perceptual detection thresholds for a brief tone can be …

Neurons in various sensory systems show some level of spontaneous firing in the absence
of sensory stimuli. In the auditory system spontaneous firing has been shown at all levels of …

The central nucleus of the inferior colliculus (ICC) is a major site of synaptic interaction in the
central auditory system. To understand how ICC neurons integrate excitatory and inhibitory …
