Auditory Midbrain Implant: A Review [PDF]
Trends in Amplification, 2009 The auditory midbrain implant (AMI) is a new hearing prosthesis designed for stimulation of the inferior colliculus in deaf patients who cannot sufficiently benefit from cochlear implants. The authors have begun clinical trials in which five patients have been implanted with a single shank AMI array (20 electrodes).

Inhibitory Neural Circuits in the Mammalian Auditory Midbrain
Journal of Experimental Neuroscience, 2018 The auditory midbrain is the critical integration center in the auditory pathway of vertebrates. Synaptic inhibition plays a key role during information processing in the auditory midbrain, and these inhibitory neural circuits are seen in all vertebrates

Background firing in the auditory midbrain of the frog
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.

Spectral coding in auditory midbrain neurons
Journal of Integrative Neuroscience, 2013 The data of frequency properties of single neurons in the auditory midbrain center, central nucleus of the inferior colliculus and morphologic aspects of its functional ordering are reviewed. On the basis of reconstruction of single units frequency receptive fields and morphophysiologic mapping of their location within the frequency-band lamina of the ...

Cortical modulation of auditory processing in the midbrain [PDF]
Frontiers in Neural Circuits, 2013 In addition to their ascending pathways that originate at the receptor cells, all sensory systems are characterized by extensive descending projections. Although the size of these connections often outweighs those that carry information in the ascending ...

Meta-adaptation in the auditory midbrain under cortical influence
Nature Communications, 2016 Neurons in the auditory midbrain are known to modify their firing rates in response to changes in sound intensity. Here the authors show that in guinea pigs, such modifications occur faster when neurons re-encounter the same environment, a phenomenon ...

AP-2δ Expression Kinetics in Multimodal Networks in the Developing Chicken Midbrain
Frontiers in Neural Circuits, 2021 AP-2 is a family of transcription factors involved in many aspects of development, cell differentiation, and regulation of cell growth and death. AP-2δ is a member of this group and specific gene expression patterns are required in the adult mouse brain ...

Rapid effects of hearing song on catecholaminergic activity in the songbird auditory pathway. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Catecholaminergic (CA) neurons innervate sensory areas and affect the processing of sensory signals. For example, in birds, CA fibers innervate the auditory pathway at each level, including the midbrain, thalamus, and forebrain.

Subcortical coding of predictable and unsupervised sound-context associations
Current Research in Neurobiology, 2023 Our environment is made of a myriad of stimuli present in combinations often patterned in predictable ways. For example, there is a strong association between where we are and the sounds we hear.
