The superior colliculus projection upon the macaque inferior olive
Saccade accommodation is a productive model for exploring the role of the cerebellum in behavioral plasticity. In this model, the target is moved...

Degraded inferior colliculus responses to complex sounds in prenatally exposed VPA rats
BackgroundIndividuals with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) often exhibit altered sensory processing and deficits in language development. Prenatal...

Leveling up: a long-range olivary projection to the medial geniculate without collaterals to the central nucleus of the inferior colliculus in rats
The medial nucleus of the trapezoid body (MNTB) is one of the monaural cell groups situated within the superior olivary complex (SOC), a...

Targeted Inhibition of Upregulated Sodium-Calcium Exchanger in Rat Inferior Colliculus Suppresses Alcohol Withdrawal Seizures
The inferior colliculus (IC) is critical in initiating acoustically evoked alcohol withdrawal-induced seizures (AWSs). Recently, we reported that...

The Superior Colliculus: Cell Types, Connectivity, and Behavior
The superior colliculus (SC), one of the most well-characterized midbrain sensorimotor structures where visual, auditory, and somatosensory...

Changes in the Gene Expression Profiles of the Inferior Colliculus Following Unilateral Cochlear Ablation in Adult Rats
This study aimed to explore gene expression changes in the inferior colliculus (IC) after single-sided deafness (SSD). Forty 8-week-old female...

The Superior Colliculus and Visual Thalamus
Understanding how the brain uses the information it receives from the eye has been a primary subject of inquiry for a host of laboratories. We now...

Evaluation of the Neurogenic Potential in the Rat Inferior Colliculus from Early Postnatal Days Until Adulthood
Neural stem cells (NSCs) have been recently identified in the inferior colliculus (IC). These cells are of particular interest, as no casual...

Retinal ganglion cells projecting to superior colliculus and pulvinar in marmoset
We determined the retinal ganglion cell types projecting to the medial subdivision of inferior pulvinar (PIm) and the superior colliculus (SC) in the...
-
Cerebellar Nuclei and the Inferior Olivary Nuclei: Organization and Connections
The cerebellar nuclei, together with certain vestibular nuclei, are the target of the axons of the Purkinje cells of the cerebellar cortex. Each of...

Mesencephalon m1/m2
Two important structures of the visual/oculomotor system originate from this neuromere, the superior colliculus, and the oculomotor nucleus/nerve...
-
Age-Related Changes in the Auditory Brainstem and Inferior Colliculus
Aging is accompanied by specific changes in the processing of sound information that result from dysfunction of individual parts of the auditory...

In utero exposure to valproic acid disrupts ascending projections to the central nucleus of the inferior colliculus from the auditory brainstem
Prenatal exposure to the antiepileptic valproic acid (VPA) is associated with an increased risk of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in humans....

Brainstem sources of input to the central mesencephalic reticular formation in the macaque
Physiological studies indicate that the central mesencephalic reticular formation (cMRF) plays a role in gaze changes, including control of...
-
Sha** of discrete auditory inputs to extramodular zones of the lateral cortex of the inferior colliculus
The multimodal lateral cortex of the inferior colliculus (LCIC) exhibits a modular-extramodular micro-organization that is evident early in...

Alcohol binge drinking decreases brain glucose metabolism and functional connectivity in adolescent rats
Alcohol misuse represents a serious health concern, especially during adolescence, with approximately 18% of high school students engaging in binge...

Stem Cell Therapy and Thiamine Deficiency-Induced Brain Damage
Wernicke’s encephalopathy (WE) is a major central nervous system disorder resulting from thiamine deficiency (TD) in which a number of brain regions...
-
Aging pattern of the brainstem based on volumetric measurement and optimized surface shape analysis
The brainstem, a small and crucial structure, is connected to the cerebrum, spinal cord, and cerebellum, playing a vital role in regulating autonomic...

Modeling the effects of medial olivocochlear efferent stimulation at the level of the inferior colliculus
Various studies on medial olivocochlear (MOC) efferents have implicated it in multiple roles in the auditory system (e.g., dynamic range adaptation,...

Rhombomere 6 r6
In this chapter, an important sensory system is described: the auditory system, with the cochlear part of CNVIII, including and anticipating the...
