the inferior colliculus facing down using a cyanoacrylate adhesive and then placed in a vibratome that contains the continuously oxygenated normal aCSF.
Development of hyperactivity after acoustic trauma in the guinea pig inferior colliculus. Hear Res.
A recently published postmortem study [22] showed DLB cases had reduced neuronal density in the intermediate gray layer of the superior colliculus tissue, a structure important for directing attention toward visual targets.
confirmed that like the superior colliculus and related structures, the basal ganglia (e.g., the caudate nucleus and the substantia nigra) have the ability to integrate multisensory information [18].
The transplanted RGCs migrated into the host ganglion cell layer, extending neuritis into the inner plexiform layer, terminating in the geniculate nucleus and the superior colliculus. Further, Lim et al.
In addition, Nothnagel reported symptoms of ipsilateral or bilateral oculomotor paresis and contralateral cerebellar ataxia due to a lesion in ventral side of the midbrain including the superior colliculus [4].
The objective of this study is to examine the effects of a frequency-enhanced neonatal acoustic environment on c-fos expression patterns in the auditory midbrain (inferior colliculus).

These receptors are found in highest densities in the olfactory bulb, cerebral cortex, cerebellum, hippocampus, substantia nigra and inferior colliculus.
Gene expression changes in thalamus and inferior colliculus associated with inflammation, cellular stress, metabolism and structural damage in thiamine deficiency.
Different patterns of echo signals at 50 kHz were encoded into low-frequency signals (a few Hz) according to auditory system transduction and codification processes, in order to bypass the auditory pathway and present the signal directly into the inferior colliculus (IC) of Wistar rats [12-14].
The vestibulocochlear nerve as part of central projections passes through intermediate stations, the cochlear nuclei, superior olivary complex, and inferior colliculus. It eventually reaches thalamus (medial geniculate body) and from there it is relayed to cortex.
Consequently it is more prone to modulatory influences of suprasegmental structures, like specifically the superior colliculus, raphe nucleus, and basal ganglia (7,8).
I wave originated from the peripheral portion of eighth cranial nerve adjacent to cochlea, II wave from cochlear nucleus, III wave from superior olivary nucleus, IV wave from lateral lemniscus, and V wave from inferior colliculus. Latencies of I, III, and V were recorded on ipsilateral and contralateral sides.
