Neuromodulation mediated by metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluRs) regulates many
brain functions. However, the functions of mGluRs in the auditory system under normal and …

Metabotropic glutamate receptor (mGluR)-dependent homosynaptic long-term depression (LTD)
has been studied extensively at glutamatergic synapses in the CNS. However, much …

Rhythmic action potentials (AP) are generated via intrinsic ionic mechanisms in pacemaking
neurons, producing synaptic responses of regular inter-event intervals (IEIs) in their targets. …

Synaptic inhibition plays a fundamental role in the neural computation of the interaural level
difference (ILD), an important cue for the localization of high-frequency sound. Here, we …

Intrinsic properties of neurons are one major determinant for how neurons respond to their
synaptic inputs and shape their outputs in neural circuits. Here, we studied the intrinsic …

Key points Binaural excitatory inputs to coincidence detection neurons in nucleus laminaris (NL)
play essential roles in interaural time difference coding for sound localization. Here, we …

The ability to localize sound in space is an important task for communication and survival in
complex acoustic environments for both humans and animals. For localizing sound in the …

Some popular press books such as The One Minute Manager (Blanchard and Johnson, 2003)
recommend supervisors use touch to enhance relationships with subordinates. However, …

In chronic illness, day-to-day care responsibilities fall most heavily on patients and their
families. Effective collaborative relationships with health care providers can help patients and …

Objectives: (1) To define patient demographics and common symptoms in patients who
undergo styloidectomy for stylohyoid pain syndrome (Eagle’s syndrome). (2) To evaluate the …
