Frequency-specific corticofugal modulation of the dorsal cochlear nucleus in mice
The primary auditory cortex (AI) modulates the sound information processing in the lemniscal subcortical nuclei, including the anteroventral cochlear nucleus (AVCN), in a frequency-specific manner. The dorsal cochlear nucleus (DCN) is a non-lemniscal subcortical nucleus but it is tonotopically organized like the AVCN. However, it remains unclear how the AI modulates the sound information proces...
متن کاملCorticofugal shaping of frequency tuning curves in the central nucleus of the inferior colliculus of mice.
Plasticity of the auditory cortex can be induced by conditioning or focal cortical stimulation. The latter was used here to measure how stimulation in the tonotopy of the mouse primary auditory cortex influences frequency tuning in the midbrain central nucleus of the inferior colliculus (ICC). Shapes of collicular frequency tuning curves (FTCs) were quantified before and after cortical activati...
متن کاملTemporal and frequency characteristics of cartwheel cells in the dorsal cochlear nucleus of the awake mouse.
The dorsal cochlear nucleus (DCN) is an initial site of central auditory processing and also the first site of multisensory convergence in the auditory pathway. The auditory nerve imparts a tonotopic frequency organization on the responses of principal cells in the DCN. Cartwheel cells modify the responses of principal cells, but they do not receive direct auditory nerve input. This study shows...
متن کاملProjections from the ventral cochlear nucleus to the dorsal cochlear nucleus in rats.
Local circuit interactions between the dorsal and ventral divisions of the cochlear nucleus are known to influence the evoked responses of the resident neurons to sound. In the present study, we examined the projections of neurons in the ventral cochlear nucleus to the dorsal cochlear nucleus by using retrograde transport of biotinylated dextran amine injected into restricted but different regi...
متن کاملThe effect of desmopressin infusion into dorsal raphe nucleus on pain modulation and morphine analgesia in rats tail flick reflex
Recent neuroanatomical and behavioral evidence has indicated that vasopressin (VA) increases pain threshold. The dorsal raphe nucleus (DRN) is an important nucleus in pain modulation. Anatomical studies have shown that DRN receives vasopressinergic fibers originating in the hypothalamic paraventricular nucleus. The aim of the present study was to examine the effects of intra-DRN injection of de...
