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.

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.

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.

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.
