Morphology and Dendrite-Specific Synaptic Properties of Midbrain Neurons Shape Multimodal Integration

S. Weigel et al.

Summary: Multimodal integration is the process of combining multiple sensory modalities in object recognition and response to stimuli. This study investigates the cellular mechanism of multimodal integration using the unique model of Shepherd's crook neurons in the avian optic tectum. The study demonstrates the importance of spatial and temporal coincidence of sensory information, recruitment of NMDA-type glutamate receptors, and inhibitory feedback in facilitating multimodal integration.

Encoding Model for Continuous Motion-sensitive Neurons in the Intermediate and Deep Layers of the Pigeon Optic Tectum

Songwei Wang et al.

Summary: Intermediate and deep layers of the optic tectum contain neurons that are sensitive to small continuously moving targets. The researchers suggest that the sensitivity of these neurons is due to directed energy accumulation in the dendrite field. A simulation model was constructed based on these assumptions, and it qualitatively reproduces the response characteristics of these neurons to different stimuli. This model enhances our understanding of the information-processing mechanism of bird neurons in perceiving weak targets.

Surround Modulation Properties of Tectal Neurons in Pigeons Characterized by Moving and Flashed Stimuli

Xiaoke Niu et al.

Summary: This study analyzed the surround modulation properties of avian tectum neurons and found that the inhibitory responses appear to be full surrounding rather than locally lateral. This is important for understanding the mechanism of target detection against clutter background in birds.

Stimulus duration and vestibular sensory evoked potentials (VsEPs)

Timothy A. Jones et al.

Summary: Recording linear vestibular sensory evoked potential (VsEP) requires moving the head in a prescribed manner to activate neurons of the gravity receptor organs synchronously, but coactivation of cochlear neurons may occur. The duration of the linear cranial jerk stimulus is critical in avoiding auditory responses coactivation during VsEP recordings, especially when stimulus durations are less than 1 ms. Acoustic masking procedures are essential for VsEP recordings.
