Inhibitory Neural Circuits in the Mammalian Auditory Midbrain
The auditory midbrain is the critical integration center in the auditory pathway of vertebrates. Synaptic inhibition plays a key role during information processing in the auditory midbrain, and these inhibitory neural circuits are seen in all vertebrates and are likely essential for hearing. Here, w...

| description | The auditory midbrain is the critical integration center in the auditory pathway of vertebrates. Synaptic inhibition plays a key role during information processing in the auditory midbrain, and these inhibitory neural circuits are seen in all vertebrates and are likely essential for hearing. Here, we review the structure and function of the inhibitory neural circuits of the auditory midbrain. First, we provide an overview on how these inhibitory circuits are organized within different clades of vertebrates. Next, we focus on recent findings in the mammalian auditory midbrain, the most studied of the vertebrates, and discuss how the mammalian auditory midbrain is functionally coordinated. |
