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).

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.

Periodotopy in the gerbil inferior colliculus: local clustering rather than a gradient map
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 ...

Dopamine D2-like receptors modulate unconditioned fear: role of the inferior colliculus. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 BACKGROUND: A reduction of dopamine release or D2 receptor blockade in the terminal fields of the mesolimbic system clearly reduces conditioned fear.

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).

Synaptic mechanisms of top-down control in the non-lemniscal inferior colliculus [PDF]
eLife, 2022 Corticofugal projections to evolutionarily ancient, subcortical structures are ubiquitous across mammalian sensory systems. These ‘descending’ pathways enable the neocortex to control ascending sensory representations in a predictive or feedback manner ...

Tonotopic organization in the depth of human inferior colliculus
Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2013 Experiments in animal models indicate that inferior colliculus (IC), the primary auditory midbrain structure, represents sound frequency in a particular spatial organization, a tonotopy, that proceeds from dorsal and superficial to ventral and deeper ...

Frontiers in Neural Circuits, 2013 Frequency modulations occur in many natural sounds, including vocalizations. The neuronal response to frequency modulated (FM) stimuli has been studied extensively in different brain areas, with an emphasis on the auditory cortex and the central nucleus ...

Stimulus-specific adaptation and deviance detection in the inferior colliculus
Frontiers in Neural Circuits, 2013 Deviancy detection in the continuous flow of sensory information into the central nervous system is of vital importance for animals. The task requires neuronal mechanisms that allow for an efficient representation of the environment by removing ...
