Glutamatergic Calcium Responses in the Developing Lateral Superior Olive: Receptor Types and Their Specific Activation by Synaptic Activity Patterns
Abstract
The lateral superior olive (LSO) is a binaural auditory brain stem nucleus that plays a central role in sound localization. Survival and maturation of developing LSO neurons critically depend on intracellular calcium signaling. Here we investigated the mechanisms by which glutamatergic afferents from the cochlear nucleus increase intracellular calcium concentration in LSO neurons. Using fura-2 calcium imaging in slices prepared from neonatal …
