Functional Architecture of the Inferior Colliculus Revealed with Voltage-Sensitive Dyes
We used optical imaging with voltage-sensitive dyes to investigate the spatio-temporal dynamics of synaptically evoked activity in brain slices of the inferior colliculus (IC). Responses in transverse slices which preserve cross-frequency connections and in modified sagittal slices that preserve connections within frequency laminae were evoked by activating the lateral lemniscal tract. Comparin...

The inferior colliculus is notably associated with defensive behavior. Electrical or pharmacological stimulation of the inferior colliculus induces aversive reactions such as running and jumping. Lesion of the basolateral nucleus of the amygdala decreases the threshold of aversive reactions induced by electrical stimulation of the inferior colliculus. The present work examined the influence of ...
متن کاملThe representation of sound localization cues in the barn owl's inferior colliculus
The barn owl is a well-known model system for studying auditory processing and sound localization. This article reviews the morphological and functional organization, as well as the role of the underlying microcircuits, of the barn owl's inferior colliculus (IC). We focus on the processing of frequency and interaural time (ITD) and level differences (ILD). We first summarize the morphology of t...
متن کاملSignaled two-way avoidance learning using electrical stimulation of the inferior colliculus as negative reinforcement: effects of visual and auditory cues as warning stimuli.
The inferior colliculus is a primary relay for the processing of auditory information in the brainstem. The inferior colliculus is also part of the so-called brain aversion system as animals learn to switch off the electrical stimulation of this structure. The purpose of the present study was to determine whether associative learning occurs between aversion induced by electrical stimulation of ...
متن کاملInferior colliculus syndrome: Clinical magnetic resonance microscopy anatomic analysis on a 7 T system
We performed detailed structural analysis of a case of a unilateral lesion of the inferior colliculus using magnetic resonance microscopy on a 7 T system. A 36-year-old right-handed man had an intracerebral hemorrhage circumscribed to the right inferior colliculus. Following recovery from the acute phase, he had only residual left ear tinnitus and left trochlear palsy and no hearing loss. Micro...
