Efferent Pathways Modulate Hyperactivity in Inferior Colliculus [PDF]
Journal of Neuroscience, 2010 Animal models have demonstrated that mild hearing loss caused by acoustic trauma results in spontaneous hyperactivity in the central auditory pathways. This hyperactivity has been hypothesized to be involved in the generation of tinnitus, a phantom auditory sensation.

Detectability index measures of binaural masking level difference across populations of inferior colliculus neurons. [PDF]
, 1997 In everyday life we continually need to detect signals against a background of interfering noise (the “cocktail party effect”): a task that is much easier to accomplish using two ears.

Multiplicative auditory spatial receptive fields created by a hierarchy of population codes.
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

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.

Natural ultrasonic echoes from wing beating insects are encoded by collicular neurons in the CF-FM bat, Rhinolophus f errumequinum [PDF]
, 1984 1. Acoustic reflections from a wing beating moth to an 80 kHz ultrasonic signal were recorded from six different incident angles and analyzed in spectral and time domains.

Amylin analogues as a novel perspective in anti‐obesity therapy
British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.Abstract Public health systems face a major challenge because of the worldwide obesity epidemic. The number of obese individuals has increased dramatically and, even in Switzerland which may be considered a relatively “lean” country, the numbers are alarmingly high and have reached almost 50% of the adult population.

Cross-Correlation in the Auditory Coincidence Detectors of Owls [PDF]
, 2008 Interaural time difference (ITD) plays a central role in many auditory functions, most importantly in sound localization. The classic model for how ITD is computed was put forth by Jeffress (1948). One of the predictions of the Jeffress model is that the

Sound offset responses become highly informative in the auditory cortex
The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.Abstract figure legend Using large datasets of neural responses to diverse sounds recorded across four stages of the mouse auditory system (depicted and colour‐coded on the left), offset responses occurring after the termination of each sound (time window indicated by the orange shaded area superimposed with activity traces) were characterized and it ...
