Inferior Colliculus Microcircuits [PDF]

Frontiers in Neural Circuits, 2014
The inferior colliculus (IC) is a unique structure in the auditory system, located between the primary auditory nuclei of the brainstem and the thalamus. The existence of the complex neural circuits in the auditory brainstem and midbrain, lacking in other sensory systems, has motivated an outpouring of research on the circuitry and physiological ...

The Inferior Colliculus in Alcoholism and Beyond [PDF]

Frontiers in Systems Neuroscience, 2020
Post-mortem neuropathological and in vivo neuroimaging methods have demonstrated the vulnerability of the inferior colliculus to the sequelae of thiamine deficiency as occurs in Wernicke-Korsakoff Syndrome (WKS).

Tinnitus-related changes in the inferior colliculus [PDF]

Frontiers in Neurology, 2015
Tinnitus is highly complex, diverse, and difficult to treat, in part due to the fact that the underlying causes and mechanisms remain elusive. Tinnitus is generated within the auditory brain, however, consolidating our understanding of tinnitus ...

Sex- and etiology-specific effects on predictive processing in the inferior colliculus of two rat models of autism [PDF]

Communications Biology
Atypical sensory processing is a common feature of autism, yet the neural computations that give rise to these differences, particularly in relation to biological sex and etiological origin, remain unclear.

L-type calcium channel modulation reveals the relationship between neuronal synchrony and hyperactivity in the inferior colliculus following noise-induced hearing loss [PDF]

Scientific Reports
Previous studies have established the protective effects of calcium channel inhibition on the peripheral auditory system in response to noise exposure.

Seizure Susceptibility Corrupts Inferior Colliculus Acoustic Integration [PDF]

Frontiers in Systems Neuroscience, 2019
Evidence suggests that the pathophysiology associated with epileptic susceptibility may disturb the functional connectivity of neural circuits and compromise the brain functions, even when seizures are absent.

Protocol for identifying sound-activated neurons in the inferior colliculus by cFos immunostaining [PDF]

STAR Protocols
Summary: 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.

Measurement of inferior colliculus volume based on MRI image stacks and its relationship with age and hearing status. [PDF]

PLoS ONE
The inferior colliculus is a key nucleus in the central auditory pathway, integrating acoustic stimuli from both cochleae and playing a crucial role in sound localization.

Dopamine in Auditory Nuclei and Lemniscal Projections is Poised to Influence Acoustic Integration in the Inferior Colliculus

Frontiers in Neural Circuits, 2021
Dopamine (DA) modulates the activity of nuclei within the ascending and descending auditory pathway. Previous studies have identified neurons and fibers in the inferior colliculus (IC) which are positively labeled for tyrosine hydroxylase (TH), a key ...

Patterns of Unilateral and Bilateral Projections From Layers 5 and 6 of the Auditory Cortex to the Inferior Colliculus in Mouse

Frontiers in Systems Neuroscience, 2021
The auditory cortex sends massive projections to the inferior colliculus, but the organization of this pathway is not yet well understood. Previous work has shown that the corticocollicular projection emanates from both layers 5 and 6 of the auditory ...
