The cochlear nuclear complex gives rise to widespread projections to nuclei throughout the
brainstem. The projections arise from separate, well-defined populations of cells. None of …

An important topic in contemporary auditory science is supra-threshold hearing. Difficulty
hearing at conversational speech levels in background noise has long been recognized as …

▪ Abstract Vertebrate animals gain biologically important information from environmental
sounds. Localization of sound sources enables animals to detect and respond appropriately …

The anatomical and biophysical specializations of octopus cells allow them to detect the
coincident firing of groups of auditory nerve fibers and to convey the precise timing of that …

Sequencing of the rat genome has allowed a better understanding of the rat physiology and
biology, in turn promising to translate into a better understanding of human biology and …

It is well known that many stimulus parameters, such as sound location in the auditory
system or contrast in the visual system, can modulate the timing of the first spike in sensory …

Geniculate Body C. Medial Division of the Medial Geniculate Body D. Posterior Paralaminar …

Recognition of acoustic patterns in natural sounds depends on the transmission of temporal
information. Octopus cells of the mammalian ventral cochlear nucleus form a pathway that …

In the auditory system, some ascending pathways preserve the precise timing information
present in a temporal code of frequency. This can be measured by studying responses that …

[i] In young adult guinea pigs, the effects of unilateral ossicle removal and unilateral cochlear
ablation were determined on [14C] glycine or [14C] GABA release and uptake measured in …
