Mechanistic insight is achieved only when experiments are employed to test formal or
computational models. Furthermore, in analogy to lesion studies, phantom perception may …

The shapes of the head and ears of mammals are asymmetrical top-to-bottom and front-to-
back. Reflections of sounds from these structures differ with the angle of incidence …

It is widely recognized that the neural basis of brain function can be fully understood only by
integrating many disciplines at many levels. Studies of synaptic organization are bringing …

The dorsal cochlear nucleus is the first site of multisensory convergence in mammalian
auditory pathways. Principal output neurons, the fusiform cells, integrate auditory nerve …

In the dorsal cochlear nucleus, long-term synaptic plasticity can be induced at the parallel
fiber inputs that synapse onto both fusiform principal neurons and cartwheel feedforward …

Somatic tinnitus is clinically observed modulation of the pitch and loudness of tinnitus by
somatic stimulation. This phenomenon and the association of tinnitus with somatic neural …

A necessary requirement for multisensory integration is the convergence of pathways from
different senses. The dorsal cochlear nucleus (DCN) receives auditory input directly via the …

Cisplatin causes both acute and chronic forms of tinnitus as well as increases in
spontaneous neural activity (hyperactivity) in the dorsal cochlear nucleus (DCN) of …

In cerebellar Purkinje neurons, the reliability of propagation of high-frequency simple spikes
and spikelets of complex spikes is likely to regulate inhibition of Purkinje target neurons. To …
