Ultrastructural Synaptic Differences in the Central Inferior Colliculus in the 3xTG Mouse Across Three Disease Stages. [PDF]
J Comp NeurolSymmetric and asymmetric synapses were significantly downregulated by 50% and 20%, respectively, in the aging inferior colliculus of the Alzheimer's 3xTG mouse model during the emerging disease stage (7–8 months). There was no additional significant loss from the emerging disease stage into the established disease stage.

Protocol for identifying sound-activated neurons in the inferior colliculus by cFos immunostaining [PDF]
STAR ProtocolsSummary: cfos is an immediate early gene commonly used to identify neuronal activation. After loud sound stimulation, neurons in the inferior colliculus are activated and cFos is expressed in the nucleus.

Multiplicative auditory spatial receptive fields created by a hierarchy of population codes. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2009 A multiplicative combination of tuning to interaural time difference (ITD) and interaural level difference (ILD) contributes to the generation of spatially selective auditory neurons in the owl's midbrain. Previous analyses of multiplicative responses in

Periodotopy in the gerbil inferior colliculus: local clustering rather than a gradient map [PDF]
Frontiers in Neural Circuits, 2015 Periodicities in sound waveforms are widespread, and shape important perceptual attributes of sound including rhythm and pitch. Previous studies have indicated that, in the inferior colliculus, a key processing stage in the auditory midbrain, neurons ...

Headplate Installation and Craniotomy for Awake In Vivo Electrophysiological Recordings or Two-Photon Imaging of the Mouse Inferior Colliculus [PDF]
Bio-Protocol, 2023 The inferior colliculus (IC) is an important processing center in the auditory system, which also receives non-auditory sensory input. The IC consists of several subnuclei whose functional role in (non-) auditory processing and plastic response ...

Responses to dichotic tone-in-noise stimuli in the inferior colliculus [PDF]
Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2022 Human listeners are more sensitive to tones embedded in diotic noise when the tones are out-of-phase at the two ears (N0Sπ) than when they are in-phase (N0S0).

Convergent input from brainstem coincidence detectors onto delay-sensitive neurons in the inferior colliculus. [PDF]
, 1998 Responses of low-frequency neurons in the inferior colliculus (IC) of anesthetized guinea pigs were studied with binaural beats to assess their mean best interaural phase (BP) to a range of stimulating frequencies.
