## Abstract Nitric oxide (NO) has been implied in ageβrelated changes of the central nervous system (CNS) and the central auditory pathway. The present study was conducted to investigate whether the number of NOβproducing cells and their morphometric characteristics in the inferior colliculus (IC)
The central nucleus of the inferior colliculus (ICc) is a major processing center for the ascending auditory pathways. Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) and excitant amino acids (EAAs) are essential for coding many auditory tasks in the IC. Recently, a number of neurochemical and immunocytochemical stu
