Temporal Expression of Wnt1 Defines the Competency State and Terminal Identity of Progenitors in the Developing Cochlear Nucleus and Inferior Colliculus

open access: yesFrontiers in Neuroanatomy, 2017
The auditory system contains a diverse array of interconnected anatomical structures that mediate the perception of sound. The cochlear nucleus of the hindbrain serves as the initial site of convergence for auditory stimuli, while the inferior colliculus

Chinese Clinical Practice Guidelines for Auditory Neuropathy (gCAN)

open access: yesWorld Journal of Otorhinolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Auditory neuropathy (AN) is an auditory disorder that affects the function of the auditory pathway. An increasing number of AN cases have been identified with the revelation of the underlying mechanisms, the advancements of diagnostic and detecting techniques.

The evolution of an “owl‐like” auditory system in harriers: Anatomical evidence

open access: yesJournal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
Harriers hunt relying on sound, with an accuracy to localize sound sources comparable with owls. To assess whether they have owl‐like auditory specializations, we analyzed brain and skull structures using histology and microCT scans. Harriers possess an enlarged external acoustic meatus and significantly expanded auditory brainstem nuclei, up to 12 ...

Saccade learning with concurrent cortical and subcortical basal ganglia loops [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
The Basal Ganglia is a central structure involved in multiple cortical and subcortical loops. Some of these loops are believed to be responsible for saccade target selection.

Postnatal interaction of size and shape in the human endocranium and brain structures

open access: yesJournal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
Brain–cranium integration and “endocranial globularization” for the modern human was assessed on MR‐image landmarks (top left) and volumes (top right). The size and shape were evaluated as a total brain and as respective subdivisions of supratentorial (green), infratentorial (red) and cranial base (blue).

Sleep neuroimaging: Review and future directions

open access: yesJournal of Sleep Research, EarlyView.
Summary Sleep research has evolved considerably since the first sleep electroencephalography recordings in the 1930s and the discovery of well‐distinguishable sleep stages in the 1950s. While electrophysiological recordings have been used to describe the sleeping brain in much detail, since the 1990s neuroimaging techniques have been applied to uncover

GluN2C/D‐containing NMDA receptors enhance temporal summation and increase sound‐evoked and spontaneous firing in the inferior colliculus

open access: yesThe Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Here, we find that GluN2D‐containing NMDA receptors (NMDARs) are expressed by most vasoactive intestinal peptide neurons in the inferior colliculus (IC). These receptors are less susceptible to Mg2+ blockade compared to GluN2A/B‐containing NMDARs, allowing ions to flow at resting membrane potential.

Cholinergic Modulation of Stimulus-Specific Adaptation in the Inferior Colliculus

open access: yesJournal of Neuroscience, 2015
Neural encoding of an ever-changing acoustic environment is a complex and demanding process that depends on modulation by neuroactive substances. Some neurons of the inferior colliculus (IC) exhibit “stimulus-specific adaptation” (SSA), i.e., a decrease ...

Population Coding of Interaural Time Differences in Gerbils and Barn Owls [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Interaural time differences (ITDs) are the primary cue for the localization of low-frequency sound sources in the azimuthal plane. For decades, it was assumed that the coding of ITDs in the mammalian brain was similar to that in the avian brain, where ...

Primary Age-Related Tauopathy in Human Subcortical Nuclei

open access: yesFrontiers in Neuroscience, 2019
The present study aimed to determine the spatial distribution patterns of hyperphosphorylated tau-immunoreactive cells in subcortical nuclei of post-mortem human brain with primary age-related tauopathy (PART).
