Synaptic physiology in the cochlear nucleus angularis of the chick.
Nucleus angularis (NA), one of the two cochlear nuclei in birds, is important for processing sound intensity for localization and most likely has role in sound recognition and other auditory tasks. Because the synaptic properties of auditory nerve inputs to the cochlear nuclei are fundamental to the transformation of auditory information, we studied the properties of these synapses onto NA neur...
متن کاملComputational diversity in the cochlear nucleus angularis of the barn owl.
The cochlear nucleus angularis (NA) is widely assumed to form the starting point of a brain stem pathway for processing sound intensity in birds. Details of its function are unclear, however, and its evolutionary origin and relationship to the mammalian cochlear-nucleus complex are obscure. We have carried out extracellular single-unit recordings in the NA of ketamine-anesthetized barn owls. Th...
متن کاملGlutamate-stimulated phosphatidylinositol metabolism in the avian cochlear nucleus.
This study examined the ability of the excitatory amino acid glutamate and its analogs to stimulate phosphatidylinositol metabolism in isolated cochlear nucleus tissue from young chicks. In the presence of lithium chloride, glutamate and (+/-)-1-aminocyclopentyl-trans-1,3-dicarboxylate (ACPD) stimulated the formation of inositol phosphates to levels significantly above unstimulated control leve...

متن کاملMitochondrial regulation of calcium in the avian cochlear nucleus.
The role of mitochondria and the endoplasmic reticulum in buffering [Ca2+]i in response to imposed calcium loads in neurons of the chick cochlear nucleus, nucleus magnocellularis (NM), was examined. Intracellular calcium concentrations were measured using fluorometric videomicroscopy. After depolarization with 125 mM KCl, NM neurons demonstrate an increase in [Ca2+]i that returns to near-basal ...
