Auditory cortex shapes sound responses in the inferior colliculus.

Jennifer M Blackwell, Alexandria M.H. Lesicko, Winnie Rao, Mariella De Biasi, Maria Neimark Geffen

This study shows that activating excitatory projections from auditory cortex to inferior colliculus alters sound responses, while inhibitory interneurons in cortex do not affect collicular activity.

A novel mechanism for amplification of sensory responses by the amygdala-TRN projections.

Mark Aizenberg, Solymar Rolón‐Martínez, Tuan Duc Pham, Winnie Rao, Julie S. Haas, Maria Neimark Geffen

The paper identifies a novel amygdala-TRN pathway that amplifies sound-evoked responses in the auditory cortex through suppression of spontaneous activity.

Cortical interneurons ensure maintenance of frequency tuning following adaptation.

Ryan Gregory Natan, Winnie Rao, Maria Neimark Geffen

This study shows that SOM and PV interneurons differentially shape frequency tuning in auditory cortex during adaptation, with SOM-driven inhibition maintaining selectivity.
