Synaptic mechanisms for generating temporal diversity of auditory representation in the dorsal cochlear nucleus.
In central auditory pathways, neurons exhibit a great diversity of temporal discharge patterns, which may contribute to the parallel processing of auditory signals. How such response diversity emerges in the central auditory circuits remains unclear. Here, we investigated whether synaptic mechanisms can contribute to the generation of the temporal response diversity at the first stage along the...

Abstaract Background and Aim: Tinnitus is a specific auditory sensitivity in which the patient hears nonexistent sounds. From neurological point of view, in majority of them increment in neural activity has been proposed characterized by increase in spontaneous firing rate in central auditory system. According to a hypothesis, tinnitus is a result of abnormal synaptic plasticity and reduced inh...
متن کاملA Simulation-Based Study of Dorsal Cochlear Nucleus Pyramidal Cell Firing Patterns
A two-variable integrate and fire model is presented to study the role of transient outward potassium currents in producing temporal aspects of dorsal cochlear nucleus (DCN) pyramidal cells with different profiles namely the chopper, the pauser and the buildup. This conductance based model is a reduced version of KM-LIF model (Meng & Rinzel, 2010) which captures qualitative firing features of a...
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 کاملCell-type specific short-term plasticity at auditory nerve synapses controls feed-forward inhibition in the dorsal cochlear nucleus
Feed-forward inhibition (FFI) represents a powerful mechanism by which control of the timing and fidelity of action potentials in local synaptic circuits of various brain regions is achieved. In the cochlear nucleus, the auditory nerve provides excitation to both principal neurons and inhibitory interneurons. Here, we investigated the synaptic circuit associated with fusiform cells (FCs), princ...
