Deviancy detection in the continuous flow of sensory information into the central nervous
system is of vital importance for animals. The task requires neuronal mechanisms that allow …

To identify sounds as novel, there must be some neural representation of commonly
occurring sounds. Stimulus-specific adaptation (SSA) is a reduction in neural response to a …

Patients suffering from pathologies such as schizophrenia, depression or dementia exhibit
cognitive impairments, some of which can be reflected in event-related potential (ERP) …

The specific adaptation of neuronal responses to a repeated stimulus (Stimulus-specific
adaptation, SSA), which does not fully generalize to other stimuli, provides a mechanism for …

This study analyzes the distribution of the intrinsic and commissural fiber plexuses
originating in the central nucleus of the inferior colliculus in the rat. The anterograde tracer …

Novel stimuli in all sensory modalities are highly effective in attracting and focusing
attention. Stimulus‐specific adaptation (SSA) and brain activity evoked by novel stimuli have …

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 …

Both GABA and glycine (Gly) containing neurons send inhibitory projections to the inferior
colliculus (IC), whereas inhibitory neurons within the IC are primarily GABAergic. To date …

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 ability to detect unexpected sounds within the environment is an important function of
the auditory system, as a rapid response may be required for the organism to survive …
