I have measured excitatory synaptic currents (EPSCs) of the neurons in the central nucleus of the IC in response to stimulation of the lateral lemniscus and the commissure of the IC. Before hearing onset, the lemniscus inputs exhibited short-term depression, whereas commissural inputs showed facilitation. After hearing onset, the NMDA-EPSCs exhibited faster decay for both pathways. Furthermore, the EPSCs showed less short-term plasticity in both pathways. These developmental changes may ensure faster and more reliable signal transmission to the IC after onset of hearing., application/pdf}, title = {Developmental fine-tuning of excitatory synaptic transmission at input synapses in the rat inferior colliculus}, year = {}, yomi = {キタガワ, マコ} }
