Chemoarchitecture of the anuran auditory midbrain
Brain Research Reviews, 2000The anuran torus semicircularis consists of several subnuclei that are part of the ascending auditory pathway as well as audiomotor interface structures. Additionally, recent anatomical studies suggest that the midbrain tegmentum is an integral part of the audiomotor network.

Auditory midbrain neurons that count
Nature Neuroscience, 2002Many acoustic communication signals, including human speech and music, consist of a precise temporal arrangement of discrete elements, but it is unclear whether this precise temporal patterning is required to activate the sensory neurons that mediate signal recognition.

Trends in Neurosciences, 1979
A large part of the tectum is devoted to the analysis of auditory information, and lesions that damage these regions produce profound and irreversible hearing losses. The auditory midbrain is thus necessary, although not sufficient, for normal hearing.

Duration Tuning in the Mouse Auditory Midbrain
Journal of Neurophysiology, 2000Temporal cues, including sound duration, are important for sound identification. Neurons tuned to the duration of pure tones were first discovered in the auditory system of frogs and bats and were discussed as specific adaptations in these animals.

Auditory and Vibratory Responses in the Midbrains of Snakes
Science, 1969Airborne sound and substrate vibration each elicit electrical responses below the surface of the tectum in species of three families of snakes. Tones of 50 to 1000 hertz evoke responses independently of substrate vibration. Sensitivity to locally applied sound is present over much of the body surface.

In sorrowful reference to his deafness, Ludwig van Beethoven wrote in October of 1802 in his famous Heiligenstadt Testament (translated from the original German), “I was soon compelled to withdraw, to live life alone…[W]hat a humiliation for me when someone standing next to me heard a flute in the distance and I heard nothing or someone heard a ...

The Auditory Midbrain and Acousticomotor Behavior
1986Early anatomical studies of the auditory system, such as those of Ramon y Cajal (1911), considered the inferior colliculus to be a reflex center in hearing, with a similar function in audition to that subserved by the superior colliculus in vision.

The Auditory Midbrain in Bats and Birds
2005Both bats and birds are flying vertebrates that diverged early in evolution. Their flight mechanisms are different, and so are their auditory systems. They share a common ancestor in the Carboniferous era, but their auditory systems evolved in parallel and are not homologous (Clack 1997). However, other ancestral mammalian traits, such as moveable ears,

Otology & Neurotology, 2006
The auditory midbrain implant (AMI) is a new central auditory prosthesis designed for penetrating stimulation of the human inferior colliculus. The major group of candidates for the AMI consists of neurofibromatosis type 2 (NF2) patients who develop neural deafness because of growth and/or surgical removal of bilateral acoustic neuromas. Because of the

The Auditory Midbrain and Behavior
1986Before examining in detail the structure and physiology of the auditory midbrain, it is important to demonstrate that the integrity of this region is essential for normal acoustic behavior. This may be gauged from the fact that the inferior colliculus, at least in the cat, is an obligatory relay for the vast majority of afferents ascending from the ...
