Evidence of multisensory plasticity: Asymmetrical medial geniculate body in people with one eye [PDF]
NeuroImage: Clinical, 2015 The medial geniculate body (MGB) plays a central role in auditory processing with both efferent and afferent tracts to primary auditory cortex. People who have lost one eye early in life have enhanced sound localization, lack visual over auditory ...

Neurogenic Stem Cell Niche in the Auditory Thalamus: In Vitro Evidence of Neural Stem Cells in the Rat Medial Geniculate Body [PDF]
Life, 2023 The medial geniculate body (MGB) is a nucleus of the diencephalon representing a relevant segment of the auditory pathway and is part of the metathalamus. It receives afferent information via the inferior brachium of the inferior colliculus and transmits

A computational model of cellular mechanisms of temporal coding in the medial geniculate body (MGB). [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 Acoustic stimuli are often represented in the early auditory pathway as patterns of neural activity synchronized to time-varying features. This phase-locking predominates until the level of the medial geniculate body (MGB), where previous studies have ...

Medial geniculate body and primary auditory cortex differentially contribute to striatal sound representations [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2019 The precise role of auditory cortical and thalamic projections in the representation of sound in the auditory striatum is not known. Here, the authors show that silencing thalamic inputs lowers the gain of sound-evoked responses while cortical inputs ...

Projections from the dorsal and ventral cochlear nuclei to the medial geniculate body [PDF]
Frontiers in Neuroanatomy, 2014 Direct projections from the cochlear nucleus (CN) to the medial geniculate body (MG) mediate a high-speed transfer of acoustic information to the auditory thalamus. Anderson et al., (2006, Eur. J. Neurosci.

Category-specific neuronal activity in left and right auditory cortex and in medial geniculate body of monkeys. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 We address the question of whether the auditory cortex of the left and right hemisphere and the auditory thalamus are differently involved in the performance of cognitive tasks.

Noise and Health, 2017 It has previously been shown that acoustic overstimulation induces cell death and extensive cell loss in key structures of the central auditory pathway. A correlation between noise-induced apoptosis and cell loss was hypothesized for the cochlear nucleus

Altered neuronal intrinsic properties and reduced synaptic transmission of the rat's medial geniculate body in salicylate-induced tinnitus. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Sodium salicylate (NaSal), an aspirin metabolite, can cause tinnitus in animals and human subjects. To explore neural mechanisms underlying salicylate-induced tinnitus, we examined effects of NaSal on neural activities of the medial geniculate body (MGB),

The Effect of Noise Trauma and Deep Brain Stimulation of the Medial Geniculate Body on Tissue Activity in the Auditory Pathway [PDF]
Brain Sciences, 2022 Tinnitus is defined as the phantom perception of sound. To date, there is no curative treatment, and contemporary treatments have failed to show beneficial outcomes. Deep brain stimulation has been suggested as a potential therapy for refractory tinnitus.

Modulation of tonotopic ventral medial geniculate body is behaviorally relevant for speech recognition [PDF]
eLife, 2019 Sensory thalami are central sensory pathway stations for information processing. Their role for human cognition and perception, however, remains unclear. Recent evidence suggests an involvement of the sensory thalami in speech recognition. In particular,
