Age-related hearing loss (presbycusis) is a complex state that reflects pathologic changes
along the entire auditory neuraxis. Loss of speech understanding, decreased ability to …

The projection from 11 auditory cortical areas onto the subdivisions of the inferior colliculus
was studied in adult cats by using two different anterograde tracers to label corticocollicular …

The purpose of this volume is twofold. First, it offers an in-depth analysis of current
approaches and issues in the study of the auditory system. By concentrating on one …

To ascertain whether the auditory neocortex also innervates the central nucleus of the
inferior colliculus (CNIC) and not only its dorsal (DCIC) and external (ECIC) cortices, the …

This study analyzes the distribution of the intrinsic and commissural fiber plexuses
originating in the central nucleus of the inferior colliculus in the rat. The anterograde tracer …

Sequencing of the rat genome has allowed a better understanding of the rat physiology and
biology, in turn promising to translate into a better understanding of human biology and …

The current popular and scientific interest in virtual environments has provided a new
impetus for investigating binaural and spatial hearing. However, the many intriguing …

The goal of the present study was to provide a comprehensive and quantitative description
of neurons immunoreactive for γ‐aminobutyric acid (GABA) in the inferior colliculus (IC) of …

The inferior colliculus (IC)(Fig. 7.1) occupies a strategic position in the central auditory
system. Evidence reviewed in this chapter indicates that it is an interface between lower …
