GABAergic inhibition controls neural gain in inferior colliculus neurons sensitive to interaural time differences [PDF]
, 2005 We investigated the role of GABAergic inhibition on the responses of inferior colliculus (IC) neurons sensitive to interaural time differences (ITDs) in anesthetized guinea pigs.

Postnatal interaction of size and shape in the human endocranium and brain structures
Journal of Anatomy, Volume 248, Issue 3, Page 395-411, March 2026.Ancestral egg‐laying Sceloporus had dorsoventrally tall female pelvises. Two of three live‐bearing clades evolved larger bodies and flatter, wider pelvises, likely reflecting relaxed allometric limits and selection for crypsis or thermoregulation in terrestrial habitats.

Gene therapy for epilepsy: An emerging, promising approach for a serious neurological disorder
Journal of Internal Medicine, Volume 299, Issue 3, Page 302-327, March 2026.Abstract Gene therapy is emerging as a groundbreaking strategy for treating epilepsy, offering new hope to patients who do not respond to conventional medications. Despite advancements in anti‐seizure treatments, nearly 30%–40% of individuals with epilepsy continue to experience uncontrolled seizures, highlighting the urgent need for more effective and

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.

Journal of Comparative Neurology, Volume 534, Issue 2, February 2026.The results from this study suggest that the serotonin receptors Htr1a, Htr1b, Htr2a, and Htr2c are largely expressed in the inferior colliculus (IC). Htr1a and Htr1b, which are inhibitory serotonin receptors, are more likely to be expressed by IC glutamatergic neurons.

GABA(A)-mediated inhibition modulates stimulus-specific adaptation in the inferior colliculus. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 The ability to detect novel sounds in a complex acoustic context is crucial for survival. Neurons from midbrain through cortical levels adapt to repetitive stimuli, while maintaining responsiveness to rare stimuli, a phenomenon called stimulus-specific ...

Neuromeric Organization of the Microbat Brain: Conserved and Distinct Regional Features
Journal of Comparative Neurology, Volume 534, Issue 2, February 2026.The fundamental neuromeric modular plan is remarkably conserved across bats and rodents. However, there are significant regional differences in the size and organization of specific derivatives (A). In addition, both Tadarida brasiliensis and Myotis myotis share similar general patterns of TH‐positive processes and tracts in the basal plate of the ...
