Dbx1 is a dorsal midbrain-specific determinant of GABAergic neuron fate and regulates differentiation of the dorsal midbrain into the inferior and superior colliculi [PDF]
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental BiologyThe mechanism underlying the differentiation of the dorsal midbrain into two morphologically and functionally distinct compartments, the inferior colliculus (IC) and superior colliculus (SC), which process auditory and visual information, respectively ...

Weakening of Subcortical and Strengthening of Cortical Visual Pathways Across Early Adolescence. [PDF]
Hum Brain MappLongitudinal diffusion MRI in 4361 adolescents shows weakening of visual subcortical pathways but strengthening of cortical pathways over pubertal development. ABSTRACT Mounting evidence suggests that amygdalar nuclei receive visual information via both a well‐characterized cortical pathway through the inferior temporal cortex and a subcortical route ...

Multisensory information facilitates reaction speed by enlarging activity difference between superior colliculus hemispheres in rats [PDF]
, 2011 Animals can make faster behavioral responses to multisensory stimuli than to unisensory stimuli. The superior colliculus (SC), which receives multiple inputs from different sensory modalities, is considered to be involved in the initiation of motor ...

Age-Related Hearing Loss: Sensory and Neural Etiology and Their Interdependence
Frontiers in Aging Neuroscience, 2022 Age-related hearing loss (ARHL) is a common, increasing problem for older adults, affecting about 1 billion people by 2050. We aim to correlate the different reductions of hearing from cochlear hair cells (HCs), spiral ganglion neurons (SGNs), cochlear ...

Conservation of Neuron-Astrocyte Correlated Activity in Developing Sensory Pathways. [PDF]
GliaAstrocytes and neurons in the superior colliculus exhibit spatiotemporal correlated activity before eye opening. Each neuronal wave is followed by a calcium wave in astrocytes. Spillover of glutamate activates mGluR5 and mGluR3 in astrocytes. ABSTRACT Neurons in developing sensory organs exhibit prolonged burst firing before the onset of sensory ...
