  • Thus, we injected different anterograde tracers into the Vme and medial vestibular nucleus (MVN)-the subnuclear area particularly harboring excitatory vestibulo-ocular neurons, and immunostained III/IV motoneurons. (listlabs.com)
  • Under confocal microscope, we observed the Vme and MVN neuronal endings simultaneously terminated onto the same III/IV motoneurons and the same INC pre-oculomotor neurons. (listlabs.com)
  • Substance P which is found in extrinsic and intrinsic neurons is elevated along with its receptor during inflammation. (usda.gov)
  • 1. Coincidence-detection of excitatory synaptic potentials has long been considered to be the mechanism by which medial superior olivary (MSO) neurons compute interaural time differences. (nyu.edu)
  • However, recent anatomical studies have shown that neurons in mouse dLGN receive input from multiple RGC types of both retinae. (bvsalud.org)
