inferior colliculus

The inferior colliculus has a relatively high metabolism in the brain.

Other cell types project to the lateral lemniscus and the inferior colliculus directly.

Ultimately, the researchers found that a part of the mid-brain, known as the inferior colliculus, showed the pattern they were looking for.

In the central nucleus of the inferior colliculus (Figs.

This indicates that the inferior colliculus is metabolically more active than many other parts of the brain.

The inferior colliculus is involved in auditory processing.

The input connections to the inferior colliculus are composed of many brainstem nuclei.

A horizontal cross section at the level of the inferior colliculus still shows the substantia nigra.

The superior colliculus also receives auditory information from the inferior colliculus.

The output is to the ipsilateral lateral lemniscus and ultimately to the inferior colliculus.

Most nerve fibers pass directly from the superior olivary nuclei to the inferior colliculus.

Axons from there constitute the lateral lemniscus which ends in the inferior colliculus.

Echo-detecting characteristics of neurons in inferior colliculus of unanesthetized bats.

This suggested that by the level of the inferior colliculus, integration of information over multiple neurons is unnecessary (see population code).

Inferior colliculus - Contralateral stimulation.

There is some lateralization, the dorsal projections (containing vertical data) only project to the contralateral inferior colliculus.

The trochlear nerve comes out of the posterior surface of the midbrain, below the inferior colliculus.

The nucleus of the trochlear nerve is located in the midbrain, at the level of the inferior colliculus.

The time and sound-pressure pathways converge at the lateral shell of the central nucleus of the inferior colliculus.

Skottun et al. measured the interaural time difference sensitivity of single neurons in the inferior colliculus, and used these to predict behavioural performance.

Fibers leaving these brainstem nuclei ascending to the inferior colliculus rejoin the lateral lemniscus.

These small arteries supply portions of the midbrain, especially the superior colliculus, inferior colliculus, and tectum.

Superior to the inferior colliculus, the superior colliculus marks the rostral midbrain.

In both species NK-ir perikarya were found in the periaqueductal gray and in the inferior colliculus.

It comprises the dorsal aspect of the midbrain, posterior to the periaqueductal gray and immediately superior to the inferior colliculus.
