Acetylcholine (ACh) is a neuromodulator that is likely to play a role in plasticity as well as other
phenomena at many sites in the auditory system. The auditory cortex receives cholinergic …

Inhibition plays an important role in shaping responses to stimuli throughout the CNS,
including in the inferior colliculus (IC), a major hub in both ascending and descending auditory …

Individual subdivisions of the medial geniculate body (MG) receive a majority of their
ascending inputs from 1 or 2 subdivisions of the inferior colliculus (IC). This establishes parallel …

Acetylcholine (Ach) affects a variety of cell types in the cochlear nucleus (CN) and is likely to
play a role in numerous functions. Previous work in rats suggested that the acetylcholine …

The monoclonal antibody SMI-32 was used to characterize and distinguish individual areas
of cat auditory cortex. SMI-32 labels non-phosphorylated epitopes on the high- and medium-…

The inferior colliculus processes nearly all ascending auditory information. Most collicular
cells respond to sound, and for a majority of these cells, the responses can be modulated by …

Direct projections from the cochlear nucleus (CN) to the medial geniculate body (MG) mediate
a high-speed transfer of acoustic information to the auditory thalamus. Anderson etal. (…

Experiments in several species have identified direct projections to the medial geniculate
nucleus (MG) from cells in subcollicular auditory nuclei. Moreover, many cochlear nucleus …

Cisplatin chemotherapy often causes permanent hearing loss, which leads to a multifaceted
decrease in quality of life. Identification of early cisplatin-induced cochlear damage would …

Perineuronal nets (PNs) are aggregates of extracellular matrix that have been associated
with neuronal plasticity, critical periods, fast-spiking cells and protection from oxidative stress. …
