A mechanism for attenuating responses to anticipated sounds in the dorsal cochlear nucleus
The dorsal cochlear nucleus (DCN) is a cerebellum-like structure in the mammalian auditory brainstem that combines auditory nerve input with diverse auditory and non-auditory signals conveyed by granule cells. Granule cells form excitatory synapses onto inhibitory interneurons known as cartwheel cells, and in vitro stu...
