Heterogeneous biophysical properties of frog dorsal medullary nucleus (cochlear nucleus) neurons.
The cochlear nucleus (CN) in mammals, or its counterpart in birds, has multiple subdivisions each containing distinct morphological and functional (i.e., temporal discharge patterns and biophysical properties) cell types that project to different auditory nuclei in the brain stem in parallel. The analogous structure in frogs, the dorsal medullary nucleus (DMN), is a single phylogenetically olde...
متن کاملSomatosensory effects on neurons in dorsal cochlear nucleus.
1. Single units and evoked potentials were recorded in dorsal cochlear nucleus (DCN) in response to electrical stimulation of the somatosensory dorsal column and spinal trigeminal nuclei (together called MSN for medullary somatosensory nuclei) and for tactile somatosensory stimuli. Recordings were from paralyzed decerebrate cats. 2. DCN principal cells (type IV units) were strongly inhibited by...
متن کاملHeterogeneity of intrinsic biophysical properties among cochlear nucleus neurons improves the population coding of temporal information.
Reliable representation of the spectrotemporal features of an acoustic stimulus is critical for sound recognition. However, if all neurons respond with identical firing to the same stimulus, redundancy in the activity patterns would reduce the information capacity of the population. We thus investigated spike reliability and temporal fluctuation coding in an ensemble of neurons recorded in vitr...
متن کاملBiophysical properties and computational modeling of calcium spikes in serotonergic neurons of the dorsal raphe nucleus
Serotonergic neurons of the dorsal raphe nuclei, with their extensive innervation of nearly the whole brain have important modulatory effects on many cognitive and physiological processes. They play important roles in clinical depression and other psychiatric disorders. In order to quantify the effects of serotonergic transmission on target cells it is desirable to construct computational model...
متن کاملStudies on the electrical properties of the dorsal cochlear nucleus cartwheel neurons
Cartwheel cells in the dorsal cochlear nucleus (DCN) are glycinergic inhibitory interneurons which form synapses on principal neurons and among themselves. Their activity is characterized by the presence of the complex spike, a brief burst of highfrequency spikes riding on a slow depolarization. The feedforward inhibition mediated by cartwheel cells prominently shapes the response of DCN princi...
