Phospholipase C-beta4 is essential for the progression of the normal sleep sequence and ultradian body temperature rhythms in mice. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2009 BACKGROUND: THE SLEEP SEQUENCE: i) non-REM sleep, ii) REM sleep, and iii) wakefulness, is stable and widely preserved in mammals, but the underlying mechanisms are unknown.

DEPRIVATION AND STRABISMIC AMBLYOPIA: ABNORMALITIES IN GENICULOCORTICAL VISUAL PATHWAYS
Alʹmanah Kliničeskoj Mediciny, 2016 Background: There are inconsistent data on the changes of functional performance in subcortical structures of visual system caused by early binocular vision impairment.

Visual deprivation modifies oscillatory activity in visual and auditory centers
Animal Cells and Systems, 2018 Loss of vision may enhance the capabilities of auditory perception, but the mechanisms mediating these changes remain elusive. Here, visual deprivation in rats resulted in altered oscillatory activities, which appeared to be the result of a common ...

Facial nerve schwannoma: Case report and brief review of the literature
Radiology Case Reports, 2023 Schwannomas are rare nerve sheath tumors that can occur throughout the body, and are symptomatic based on location, size, and impingement on adjacent structures. These tumors are often benign lesions and occur sporadically or from genetic conditions such

Noninvasive spatiotemporal imaging of neural transmission in the subcortical visual pathway
Scientific Reports, 2017 Spatiotemporal signal transmission in the human subcortical visual pathway has not been directly demonstrated to date. To delineate this signal transmission noninvasively, we investigated the early latency components between 45 ms (P45m) and 75 ms (N75m)

Inhibitory Projections in the Mouse Auditory Tectothalamic System
Brain Sciences, 2018 The medial geniculate body (MGB) is the target of excitatory and inhibitory inputs from several neural sources. Among these, the inferior colliculus (IC) is an important nucleus in the midbrain that acts as a nexus for auditory projections, ascending and

Thalamic, cortical, and amygdala involvement in the processing of a natural sound cue of danger.
PLoS Biology, 2020 Animals use auditory cues generated by defensive responses of others to detect impending danger. Here we identify a neural circuit in rats involved in the detection of one such auditory cue, the cessation of movement-evoked sound resulting from freezing.

Altered neuronal intrinsic properties and reduced synaptic transmission of the rat's medial geniculate body in salicylate-induced tinnitus. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Sodium salicylate (NaSal), an aspirin metabolite, can cause tinnitus in animals and human subjects. To explore neural mechanisms underlying salicylate-induced tinnitus, we examined effects of NaSal on neural activities of the medial geniculate body (MGB),

Hippocampus Modulates Vocalizations Responses at Early Auditory Centers
NeuroImage, 2023 Despite its prominence in learning and memory, hippocampal influence in early auditory processing centers remains unknown. Here, we examined how hippocampal activity modulates sound-evoked responses in the auditory midbrain and thalamus using ...
