Dissociated neurons and glial cells derived from rat inferior colliculi after digestion with papain. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 The formation of gliosis around implant electrodes for deep brain stimulation impairs electrode-tissue interaction. Unspecific growth of glial tissue around the electrodes can be hindered by altering physicochemical material properties. However, in vitro

Reversible Hearing Impairment Due to Inferior Colliculi Compression by a Pineal Glial Cyst. [PDF]
NMC Case Rep J, 2021 Pineal glial cysts associated with bilateral hearing impairment are very rare. Here, we present the case of a 13-year-old boy with a pineal cyst, which caused severe bilateral hearing impairment persisting from 6 years of age. When the patient was 6 years old, the bilateral hearing acuity was about 40 dB on audiometry.

Activation of superior colliculi in humans during visual exploration [PDF]
BMC Neuroscience, 2007 Background Visual, oculomotor, and – recently – cognitive functions of the superior colliculi (SC) have been documented in detail in non-human primates in the past. Evidence for corresponding functions of the SC in humans is still rare.

Divergent and point-to-point connections in the commissural pathway between the inferior colliculi. [PDF]
J Comp Neurol, 2009 AbstractThe commissure of the inferior colliculus interconnects the left and right sides of the auditory midbrain and provides the final opportunity for interaction between the two sides of the auditory pathway at the subcortical level. Although the functional properties of the commissure are beginning to be revealed, the topographical organization of ...

Age-Related Hearing Loss: Sensory and Neural Etiology and Their Interdependence
Frontiers in Aging Neuroscience, 2022 Age-related hearing loss (ARHL) is a common, increasing problem for older adults, affecting about 1 billion people by 2050. We aim to correlate the different reductions of hearing from cochlear hair cells (HCs), spiral ganglion neurons (SGNs), cochlear ...
