The paper maps ascending inputs to subdivisions of the mouse inferior colliculus, revealing that the external cortex has a hybrid input organization combining features of both core and shell regions.

This study identifies parvalbumin interneurons and dentate gyrus remodeling as key factors in epileptogenesis in Angelman syndrome model mice.

This study examines age-related changes in fusiform cells of the dorsal cochlear nucleus in mice, finding stable physiology post-weaning but altered firing properties and dendritic complexity during ARHL onset.

The paper identifies noncanonical auditory pathways in mice that bypass primary auditory cortex and directly activate secondary auditory cortex layers, enabling parallel sensory processing.

This study examines how tauopathy and alcohol consumption interact to alter locus coeruleus neuron excitability in mice, finding significant changes in excitatory inputs and excitability due to both factors.

This study uses linear discriminant analysis to classify neurons in the adult mouse cochlear nucleus based on electrical properties and morphology, revealing distinct clusters of VCN and DCN neurons.
