In this review we take a physiological perspective on the role of voltage‐gated potassium
channels in an identified neuron in the auditory brainstem. The large number of KCN genes …

The cochlear nuclear complex gives rise to widespread projections to nuclei throughout the
brainstem. The projections arise from separate, well-defined populations of cells. None of …

Psychology is of interest to academics from many fields, as well as to the thousands of
academic and clinical psychologists and general public who can't help but be interested in …

Bursts of neuronal activity are transmitted more effectively as synapses mature. However,
the mechanisms that control synaptic efficiency during development are poorly understood …

Timely delivery of information is essential for proper functioning of the nervous system.
Precise regulation of nerve conduction velocity is needed for correct exertion of motor skills …

Bushy cells in the anteroventral cochlear nucleus (AVCN) receive their principal excitatory
input from the auditory nerve and are the primary source of excitatory input to more centrally …

The arrival times of a sound at the two ears are only microseconds apart, but both birds and
mammals can use these interaural time differences to localize low-frequency sounds …

Sound location in azimuth is signaled by differences in the times of arrival (interaural time
difference, ITDs) and the amplitudes (interaural level differences, ILDs) of the stimuli at the …

This paper examines the relationship between different brainstem cell populations and the
brainstem auditory evoked potential (BAEP). First, we present a mathematical model relating …

1. Interaural level differences (ILDs), created by the head and pinna, have long been known
to be the dominant acoustic cue for azimuthal localization of high-frequency tones. However …
