▪ Abstract The neurons of the cochlear ganglion transmit acoustic information between the
inner ear and the brain. These placodally derived neurons must produce a topographically …

▪ Abstract Neurons in the cochlear ganglion and auditory brain stem nuclei preserve the
relative timing of action potentials passed through sequential synaptic levels. To accomplish …

A novel gene of the calmodulin superfamily, encoding a 29-kD neuronal protein here
named" calretinin," has been isolated as a cDNA clone from chick retina. The encoded …

The distributions of neurons displaying immunoreactivity for two calcium binding proteins,
parvalbumin and 28Kd calbindin, were studied in the thalamus of M. fascicularis …

The optic tectum (homolog of the superior colliculus) contains mutually aligned neural maps
of auditory and visual space. During development, the organization of the auditory map is …

Crocodilians and birds are the modern representatives of Phylum Archosauria. Although
there have been recent advances in our understanding of the phylogeny and ecology of …

The barn owl determines the directions from which sounds emanate by computing the
interaural differences in the timing and intensity of sounds. These cues for sound localization …

Interaural phase and intensity are cues by which the barn owl determines, respectively, the
azimuth and elevation of a sound source. Physiological studies indicate that phase and …

The map of auditory space in the external nucleus of the inferior colliculus (ICX) of the barn
owl is calibrated by visual experience during development. ICX neurons are tuned for …

Antisera to GAD (glutamic acid decarboxylase) and GABA were used to determine the
distribution of GABAergic cells and terminals in the brainstem and midbrain auditory nuclei …
