Background firing in the auditory midbrain of the frog [PDF]
IBRO Reports, 2017 Statistical characteristics of background firing in the midbrain auditory units of grass frog (Rana t. temporaria) located in torus semicircular (TS) were investigated. Only about 5% of the cells demonstrated prominent spontaneous firing.

Auditory midbrain coding of statistical learning that results from discontinuous sensory stimulation. [PDF]
PLoS Biology, 2018 Detecting regular patterns in the environment, a process known as statistical learning, is essential for survival. Neuronal adaptation is a key mechanism in the detection of patterns that are continuously repeated across short (seconds to minutes ...

Neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder with deafness and an extensive brainstem lesion
Heliyon, 2021 A 49-year-old woman developed vomiting, hiccups, double vision, and bilateral ptosis, after which tinnitus and deafness appeared. Head magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed a brainstem lesion focused on the midbrain and pons.

Representation of early sensory experience in the adult auditory midbrain: implications for vocal learning. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Vocal learning in songbirds and humans occurs by imitation of adult vocalizations. In both groups, vocal learning includes a perceptual phase during which juveniles birds and infants memorize adult vocalizations.

Sparse Codes for Speech Predict Spectrotemporal Receptive Fields in the Inferior Colliculus [PDF]
, 2012 We have developed a sparse mathematical representation of speech that minimizes the number of active model neurons needed to represent typical speech sounds.

A physiologically inspired model for solving the cocktail party problem. [PDF]
, 2019 At a cocktail party, we can broadly monitor the entire acoustic scene to detect important cues (e.g., our names being called, or the fire alarm going off), or selectively listen to a target sound source (e.g., a conversation partner).

The functional role of GABA and glycine in monaural and binaural processing in the inferior colliculus of horseshoe bats [PDF]
, 1992 The functional role of GABA and glycine in monaural and binaural signal analysis was studied in single unit recordings from the central nucleus of the inferior colliculus (IC) of horseshoe bats (Rhinolophus rouxi) employing microiontophoresis of the ...
