... the isotropic fractionator method to estimate the numbers of neurons and nonneuronal cells in the inferior colliculus, medial geniculate nucleus, and auditory cortex (Ac), we assessed how they scaled across species and examined the relative scaling relationships among them. As expected, each auditory structure...

...Jean K. Moore; Francis Karapas; Robert Y. Moore The inferior colliculus is a nucleus of obligatory synapse in the ascending brain stem auditory pathways. Projections from the inferior colliculus in primates and insectivores are similar to that demonstrated in other mammals, with short direct...

...D.M. Schroeder; J.A. Jane To study the somatosensory input to the inferior colliculus, lesions were made in the dorsal column nuclei of the hedgehog, tree shrew, slow loris, marmoset and African green monkey, and spinal cord of the hedgehog, tree shrew and slow loris. The degenerating fibers were...

... into the inferior colliculus. Some features different from those of Eutheria include the disposition of the cochlear nuclear complex medial to the restiform body, a lack of large spherical cells in the anteroventral cochlear nucleus, a small medial superior olive, and a large superior paraolivary nucleus. 20 2...

...Lindsay M. Aitkin; Dexter R.F. Irvine; John E. Nelson; Michael M. Merzenich; Janine C. Clarey The representation of sound frequency was examined in the auditory cortex and inferior colliculus of anaesthetized marsupial native cats (Dasyurus hallucatus) using microelectrode mapping techniques...

...J.H. Casseday; E. Covey A general statement of the function of the inferior colliculus is lacking, even after more than three decades of electrophysiological investigation. A neuroethological theory is proposed that accounts for a large and diverse body of evidence. Although aimed at characterizing...

... midshipman, Porichthys notatus, identified the afferent and efferent connections of the midbrain’s auditory center, the nucleus centralis of the torus semicircularis, a homologue of the inferior colliculus of tetrapods [Bass et al., 2000]. This included a delineation of potential sites of central...
