Local circuit interactions between the dorsal and ventral divisions of the cochlear nucleus are known to influence the evoked responses of the resident neurons to sound. In the present study, we examined the projections of neurons in the ventral cochlear nucleus to the dorsal cochlear nucleus by usi

In adult animals, lesions to parts of the auditory receptor organ, the cochlea, can produce plasticity of the topographic (cochleotopic) frequency map in primary auditory cortex and a restricted or patchy plasticity in the auditory midbrain. This effect is similar to the plasticity of topographic ma
It is well known that experimentally induced cochlear damage produces structural, physiological, and biochemical alterations in neurons of the cochlear nucleus. In contrast, much less is known with respect to the naturally occurring cochlear pathology presented by congenital deafness. The present st
In the current study, the distribution of noradrenergic neurons in the pontine tegmentum that project to the cochlear nucleus was determined with retrograde tract tracing combined with neurotransmitter immunohistochemistry in the cat. Double-labeled neurons were observed in all noradrenergic cell gr
The anterograde tracer Phaseolus vulgaris-leucoagglutinin was used to identify the projections of the posteroventral cochlear nucleus in cats. After labeling predominately cells of the core and multipolar regions, varicose fibers were observed in a variety of auditory nuclei. Ipsilaterally, most var
