Abstract

Auditory information is carried from the cochlear nuclei to the inferior colliculi through six parallel ascending pathways, one of which is through stellate cells of the ventral cochlear nuclei (VCN) through the trapezoid body. To characterize and identify the synaptic influences on T stellate cells, intracellular recordings were made from anatomically identified stellate cells in parasagittal slices of murine cochlear nuclei. Shocks to the auditory nerve consistently evoked five types of synaptic responses in T stellate cells, which reflect sources intrinsic to the cochlear nuclear complex. 1) Monosynaptic excitatory postsynaptic potentials (EPSPs) that were blocked by 6,7-dinitroquinoxaline-2,3-dione (DNQX), an antagonist of alpha-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionic acid receptors, probably reflected activation by auditory nerve fibers. Electrophysiological estimates indicate that about five auditory nerve fibers converge on one T stellate cell. 2) Disynaptic, glycinergic inhibitory postsynaptic potentials (IPSPs) arise through inhibitory interneurons in the VCN or in the dorsal cochlear nucleus (DCN). 3) Slow depolarizations, the source of which has not been identified, that lasted between 0.2 and 1 s and were bloc...Continue Reading
