Chemical synaptic transmission onto superficial stellate cells of the mouse dorsal cochlear nucleus.
The dorsal cochlear nucleus (DCN) is a cerebellum-like auditory brain stem region whose functions include sound localization and multisensory integration. Although previous in vivo studies have shown that glycinergic and GABAergic inhibition regulate the activity of several DCN cell types in response to sensory stimuli, data regarding the synaptic inputs onto DCN inhibitory interneurons remain ...
متن کاملA map of functional synaptic connectivity in the mouse anteroventral cochlear nucleus.
The cochlear nuclei are the first central processors of auditory information and provide inputs to all the major brainstem and midbrain auditory nuclei. Although the local circuits within the cochlear nuclei are understood at a cellular level, the spatial patterns of connectivity and the connection strengths in these circuits have been less well characterized. We have applied a novel, quantitat...
متن کاملPhysiological identification of the targets of cartwheel cells in the dorsal cochlear nucleus.
The integrative contribution of cartwheel cells of the dorsal cochlear nucleus (DCN) was assessed with intracellular recordings from anatomically identified cells. Recordings were made, in slices of the cochlear nuclei of mice, from 58 cartwheel cells, 22 fusiform cells, 3 giant cells, 5 tuberculoventral cells, and 1 cell that is either a superficial stellate or Golgi cell. Cartwheel cells can ...
متن کاملTime course and permeation of synaptic AMPA receptors in cochlear nuclear neurons correlate with input.
AMPA receptors mediate rapid glutamatergic synaptic transmission. In the mammalian cochlear nuclei, neurons receive excitatory input from either auditory nerve fibers, parallel fibers, or both fiber systems. The functional correlates of differences in the source of input were examined by recording AMPA receptor-mediated, miniature EPSCs (mEPSCs) in whole-cell voltage-clamp mode from identified ...
متن کاملControl of Interneuron Firing by Subthreshold Synaptic Potentials in Principal Cells of the Dorsal Cochlear Nucleus
Voltage-gated ion channels amplify, compartmentalize, and normalize synaptic signals received by neurons. We show that voltage-gated channels activated during subthreshold glutamatergic synaptic potentials in a principal cell generate an excitatory→inhibitory synaptic sequence that excites electrically coupled interneurons. In fusiform cells of the dorsal cochlear nucleus, excitatory synapses a...
