Ascending inputs to inferior colliculus subdivisions reveal pathway-specific hybrid organization in the external cortex

The inferior colliculus (IC) is a hub of the auditory system, integrating ascending inputs from auditory and non-auditory brainstem nuclei before relaying information to the thalamus and the cortex. The IC is classically divided into the central nucleus (CIC) and surrounding shel...

SORDINO: silent, sensitive, specific and artifact-resistant fMRI in awake, behaving mice

Blood-oxygenation-level-dependent (BOLD) functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) has advanced brain mapping across species. This widely used technique, however, faces challenges such as acoustic noise, electromagnetic interference, motion artifacts, magnetic-field inhomogene...
