• The second set of inputs is relayed through a set of small granule cells in the cochlear nucleus. (wikipedia.org)
  • There are also a great number of neighbouring cartwheel cells. (wikipedia.org)
  • Classified as cochlear nucleus type IV cells, the firing rate may be very rapid in response to a low intensity sound at one frequency and then fall below the spontaneous rate with only a small increment in stimulus frequency or intensity. (wikipedia.org)
  • The dorsal cochlear nucleus (DCN, also known as the "tuberculum acusticum") is a cortex-like structure on the dorso-lateral surface of the brainstem. (wikipedia.org)

  • The approach is designed to "reset" the activity of fusiform cells, which, located in the dorsal cochlear nucleus region of the brainstem, normally help the brain tune out sensations related to the movement of the head and neck. (medscape.com)
  • But cochlear-nerve-recipient neurons in the brainstem demonstrate distinct, synchronized spontaneous firing patterns only in animals that develop tinnitus, driving activity in central brain regions and ultimately giving rise to phantom perception. (nih.gov)
  • In animal models, equivalent cochlear damage occurs in animals with and without behavioral evidence of tinnitus. (nih.gov)
