Factors Influencing Short-term Synaptic Plasticity in the Avian Cochlear Nucleus Magnocellularis
Defined as reduced neural responses during high rates of activity, synaptic depression is a form of short-term plasticity important for the temporal filtering of sound. In the avian cochlear nucleus magnocellularis (NM), an auditory brainstem structure, mechanisms regulating short-term synaptic depression include pre-, post-, and extrasynaptic factors. Using varied paired-pulse stimulus interva...
متن کاملFormation of the avian nucleus magnocellularis from the auditory anlage.
In the avian auditory system, the neural network for computing the localization of sound in space begins with bilateral innervation of nucleus laminaris (NL) by nucleus magnocellularis (NM) neurons. We used antibodies against the neural specific markers Hu C/D, neurofilament, and SV2 together with retrograde fluorescent dextran labeling from the contralateral hindbrain to identify NM neurons wi...
متن کاملCharacterization of outward currents in neurons of the avian nucleus magnocellularis.
Characterization of outward currents in neurons of the avian nucleus magnocellularis. J. Neurophysiol. 80: 2824-2835, 1998. Neurons of the nucleus magnocellularis (NM) preserve the timing of auditory signals through the convergence of a variety of voltage- and ligand-gated ion channels. To understand better how these channels interact, we have characterized the kinetics, voltage sensitivity, an...
متن کاملGABAergic inhibition in nucleus magnocellularis: implications for phase locking in the avian auditory brainstem.
In the avian auditory brainstem, nucleus magnocellularis (NM) functions to relay phase-locked signals to nucleus laminaris for binaural coincidence detection. Although many studies have revealed that NM neurons exhibit intrinsic physiological and anatomical specializations for this purpose, the role of inhibition has not been fully explored. The present study characterizes the organization of G...
متن کاملEndogenous mGluR activity suppresses GABAergic transmission in avian cochlear nucleus magnocellularis neurons.
GABAergic transmission in the avian cochlear nucleus magnocellularis (NM) of the chick is subject to modulation by gamma-aminobutyric acid type B (GABA(B)) autoreceptors. Here, I investigated modulation of GABAergic transmission in NM by metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluRs) with whole cell recordings in brain slice preparations. I found that tACPD, a nonspecific mGluR agonist, exerted dose...
