Parallel auditory pathways: projection patterns of the different neuronal populations in the dorsal and ventral cochlear nucleiNell B Cant
Department of Neurobiology, Duke University Medical Center, P O Box 3209, Durham, NC 27710, USA
Brain Res Bull 60:457-74. 2003..Giant cells in the dorsal cochlear nucleus also project directly to the inferior colliculus; some of them may convey inhibitory inputs to the contralateral cochlear nucleus as well...
An atlas of the inferior colliculus of the gerbil in three dimensionsNell B Cant
Department of Neurobiology, Duke University Medical Center, P O Box 3209, Durham, NC 27710, USA
Hear Res 206:12-27. 2005..The atlas can be used for representation, comparison and correlation of neuroanatomical, neurophysiological, neurochemical and other data that can be spatially mapped in the inferior colliculus...
Wisteria floribunda lectin is associated with specific cell types in the ventral cochlear nucleus of the gerbil, Meriones unguiculatusNell B Cant
Department of Neurobiology, Duke University Medical Center, P O Box 3209, 213 Bryan Research Building, Durham, NC 27710, USA
Hear Res 216:64-72. 2006..The multipolar cells that are labeled may correspond to the population that projects to the inferior colliculus...
Organization of the inferior colliculus of the gerbil (Meriones unguiculatus): differences in distribution of projections from the cochlear nuclei and the superior olivary complexNell B Cant
Department of Neurobiology, Duke University Medical Center, Durham, North Carolina 27710, USA
J Comp Neurol 495:511-28. 2006..The injection sites for group 3 cases lay outside the central nucleus of the IC. The two regions of the central nucleus of the IC, distinguished on the basis of connectivity, are likely to subserve different functions...
Multiple topographically organized projections connect the central nucleus of the inferior colliculus to the ventral division of the medial geniculate nucleus in the gerbil, Meriones unguiculatusNell B Cant
Department of Neurobiology, Duke University Medical Center, Durham, North Carolina 27710, USA
J Comp Neurol 503:432-53. 2007..It seems most likely that the neurons in the two terminal zones in the MGv perform different functions in audition...
Organization of the inferior colliculus of the gerbil (Meriones unguiculatus): projections from the cochlear nucleusN B Cant
Department of Neurobiology, Duke University Medical Center, P O Box 3209, Durham, NC 27710, USA
Neuroscience 154:206-17. 2008..The methods developed to display the results form a framework for comparisons with the distribution of inputs from the other major sources of input to the inferior colliculus...
Conductive hearing loss results in changes in cytochrome oxidase activity in gerbil central auditory systemDebara Tucci
Division of Otolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery, Duke University Medical Center, Durham, NC 27710, USA
J Assoc Res Otolaryngol 3:89-106. 2002..Unilateral CHL is associated with changes in CO activity in the AVCN and may affect MSO dendritic length in younger animals...
The ventral nucleus of the lateral lemniscus of the gerbil (Meriones unguiculatus): organization of connections with the cochlear nucleus and the inferior colliculusChristina G Benson
Department of Neurobiology, Duke University Medical Center, Durham, North Carolina 27710, USA
J Comp Neurol 510:673-90. 2008..The results demonstrate a topographic organization of the major afferent and efferent connections of the gerbil VNLL...
Imaging synaptic inhibition in transgenic mice expressing the chloride indicator, ClomeleonKen Berglund
Department of Neurobiology, Duke Univ. Medical Center, Box 3209, Durham, NC 27710, USA
Brain Cell Biol 35:207-28. 2006..Thus, Clomeleon imaging permits non-invasive, spatiotemporally resolved recordings of [Cl(-)](i) in a large variety of neurons, opening up new opportunities for imaging synaptic inhibition and other forms of chloride signaling...
