The paper shows that neural representations of auditory space rapidly reorganize after binaural cue disruption without overwriting existing codes.

The paper shows that neurons in the auditory midbrain represent both sound and action in behaving mice, allowing prediction of behavioral outcomes from neural activity before actions occur.

The paper investigates how neurons in the non-lemniscal shell region of the inferior colliculus encode amplitude modulation in mice, showing that population coding, not individual neuron selectivity, accurately represents sound cues for speech perception.

The paper investigates auditory corticofugal neurons during a sound-discrimination task, finding that their activity correlates more with instrumental actions than with sound cues, suggesting non-auditory contributions to learning.

The paper investigates how corticofugal inputs to the inferior colliculus generate inhibition through recurrent excitation and polysynaptic pathways despite sparse direct connections to GABA neurons.

This study demonstrates differential optogenetic excitation of two spatially separated points in the auditory midbrain of freely moving mice, showing behavioral detection and discrimination of optogenetic stimulation.
