DOI: 10.1002/cne.24095
Abstract: Ascending projections of the dorsal cochlear nucleus (DCN) target primarily the contralateral inferior colliculus (IC). In turn, the IC sends bilateral descending projections back to the DCN. We sought to determine the nature of these… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/syn.21954
Abstract: Neurons from the dorsal cochlear nucleus (DCN) present endocannabinoid (EC) dependent short‐term synaptic plasticity in the form of depolarization‐induced suppression of excitation (DSE). Postsynaptic calcium influx promotes EC synthesis and depression of neurotransmission. ECs can… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.heares.2017.01.011
Abstract: Abstract Neurons in the avian cochlear nucleus angularis (NA) receive glutamatergic input from the auditory nerve, and GABAergic input from the superior olivary nucleus. Physiologically heterogeneous, NA neurons perform multiple functions including encoding sound intensity… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.heares.2017.04.016
Abstract: Abstract Animal model research has shown that the central features of tinnitus, the perception of sound without an acoustic correlate, include elevated spontaneous and stimulus‐driven activity, enhanced burst‐mode firing, decreased variance of inter‐spike intervals, and… read more here.

Abstract: Abstract. Near-infrared radiation (NIR) has been described as one of the highest-resolution tools for neuromodulation. However, the poor tissue penetration depth of NIR has limited its further application on some of the deeper layer neurons… read more here.

Abstract: The dorsal cochlear nucleus (DCN) in the auditory brainstem integrates auditory and somatosensory information. Mature DCN fusiform neurons fall into two qualitatively distinct types: quiet, with no spontaneous regular action potential firing, or active, with… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/ijms24021718
Abstract: Mammals have a dorsal cochlear nucleus (DCN), which is thought to be a cerebellum-like structure with similar features in terms of structure and microcircuitry to the cerebellum. Both the DCN and cerebellum perform their functions… read more here.
