目的探索P物质在听觉脑干中枢中对声信号的频率分析作用。方法采用短音(tonepip)刺激、短纯音前掩蔽法和豚鼠耳蜗核(cochlearnucleus,CN)、下丘(inferiorcoliculus,IC)核团内电极,记录CN及IC核团内听觉诱发电位。观察核团内注射微量P物质抗体或对照注射等量兔血清后CN和IC核团内听觉诱发电位调谐曲线的变化。结果注入P物质抗体后,当探测音为1kHz和2kHz时,IC核团和CN核团内诱发电位调谐曲线的Q10dB值基本不变;当探测音为4kHz和6kHz时CN核团和IC核团内诱发电位调谐曲线的Q10dB值明显减小,与注入对照兔血清者相比差异非常显著(P<0.01)。高频侧斜率与低频侧斜率亦有相应改变。结论P物质可能作为听觉传入系统的神经递质或参与听觉脑干中枢的高频信号分析。  相似文献

用计算机叠加平均技术和脑干神经核团立体定位技术,记录10只豚鼠下丘核团内听觉诱发电位(IC-AEP)。对其时域中主波的潜伏期,振幅进行分析,并与豚鼠脑干听觉诱发电位(BAEP)时域比较,认为IC-AEP是BAEP之V波的主要成份。对侧耳给声刺激时,诱发的IC-AEP的振幅较高,提示在耳蜗核上行纤维中,大部分在到达下丘之前已交叉至对侧。用自回归模型谱估计(AR谱估计)及数字滤波技术对IC-AEP进行频域分析,发现豚鼠IC-AEP的频谱成份主要是在1000Hz以下,在AR变图上有3个峰:F0,F1和F2,谱峰分别位于160Hz,465Hz,745Hz左右,略低于豚鼠BAEP的相应谱峰频率,这可能由于BAEP的F1,F2是由多个神经元核团的不同谐振频率所合成,这一推测有待于其它神经核团进一步研究证实。  相似文献

皮层听觉诱发电位(cortical auditory evoked potential, CAEP)是一种非侵入性脑电测量方式,能够通过波形的阈值、潜伏期与振幅评估听觉皮层的功能。近年来,CAEP的测试方式逐渐成熟,应用更加广泛。在人工耳蜗植入患者中,CAEP能够用于术前、术后听觉及言语能力、双耳听觉、音乐感知以及听觉可塑性的评估。相比较听性脑干反应(auditory brainstem response, ABR)、中潜伏期反应(middle latency response,MLR)等其它听觉诱发电位而言,CAEP潜伏期最长,能够反映完整听觉通路的情况、评价听觉皮层等高级中枢的功能及成熟度,具有独特优势。本文就CAEP在人工耳蜗患者中的研究进展进行综述。  相似文献

目的探讨以听觉系统对调幅信号响应幅值随调制频率的改变计算等调制深度时间调制转换函数(temporal modulation transfer function,TMTF)来客观评估听觉系统时间分辨率的可行性。方法豚鼠下丘和听皮层分别埋植慢性电极,记录正弦调幅纯音(载频为8kHz,调制深度固定为100%)诱发电位,反应幅值经快速傅立叶变换(fast Fourier transform,F丌)得出相对反应幅值,并以相对反应幅值和调制频率绘制出等调制深度TMTF。记录正弦调幅纯音每个调制频率的调制深度从100%至10%的诱发电位,得出与传统的调制深度阈值TMTF方法相当的等幅值TMTF,与等调制深度TMTF相比较,判断等调制深度TMTF方法的有效性。结果豚鼠下丘和听皮层的等调制深度TMTF与等幅值TMTF都分别表现为带通和低通特性;等调制深度TMTF的截止频率与等幅值TMTF的截止频率差异无统计学意义(P值均〉0.05)。豚鼠听皮层等调制深度TMTF的截止频率与传统的行为学结果基本一致。结论以100%调制深度的正弦调幅纯音诱发反应幅值与调制频率绘制等调制深度TMTF是一种有效的客观评估听觉系统时间分辨率的方法,其中豚鼠听皮层的等调制深度TMTF可用于行为学预测。  相似文献

目的探索耳蜗电刺激的听觉中枢电活动机理,为多道人工耳蜗电刺激的部位代码提供生理依据。方法利用记录单单位和多单位电位反应的方法,分别描记17只猫听觉下丘核团对耳蜗内单极电刺激,耳蜗内双极电刺激和纯音刺激反应的空间调谐曲线。结果耳蜗内双极电刺激能兴奋下丘中的特定区域,类似于对纯音刺激的反应;而耳蜗内单极电刺激使下丘细胞广泛地被兴奋,不能提供部位代码。结论使用双极电极时,刺激电流的局限范围是提高部位代码的关键;耳蜗内单极电刺激部位代码的电生理结果与心理物理学的结论以及人工耳蜗植入患者的临床效果相矛盾,对此的解释有待进一步研究。  相似文献

目的观察豚鼠下丘神经元的时程调谐特性并探讨γ氨基丁酸(gamma—aminobutyricacid,GABA)能抑制对时程调谐的作用。方法23只健康豚鼠,雌雄不拘。在麻醉状态下采用复合式多管微电极记录下丘中央核神经元响应:通过对等强度不同频率短纯音的响应确定神经元的最佳反应频率;通过对等强度不同时程信号的响应确定神经元的时程调谐特性。经微电泳仪将GABA—A受体阻断剂(荷包牡丹碱)注射到所记录的神经元周围,通过比较注射前后神经元响应模式的变化确定GABA能抑制对神经元时程调谐的作用或影响。结果豚鼠下丘神经元,特别是持续响应神经元的时程调谐特性往往表现在对声信号的瞬态给声响应(给声反应)中。在记录到的207个神经元中,共有93个神经元细胞表现出明显的时程选择特性。在其中67个神经元成功观察了注射荷包牡丹碱后的响应变化,发现44个细胞时程选择特性消失或者是转变为时程调谐弱的模式。结论与以往在蝙蝠的报道不同,豚鼠下丘神经元的时程调谐特性往往表现在其瞬时给声响应之中。GABA能抑制是时程选择性形成的重要因素之一。  相似文献

We used multiple-labeling techniques with retrograde fluorescent tracers to determine whether individual cells in the inferior colliculus project to the medial geniculate body (MG) and the cochlear nucleus (CN) in guinea pigs. Four possible projection patterns were examined: (1) to ipsilateral MG and ipsilateral CN; (2) to ipsilateral MG and contralateral CN; (3) to contralateral MG and ipsilateral CN; and, (4) to contralateral MG and contralateral CN. Following injections of different tracers into two or more sites, no inferior collicular cells were double-labeled from the two contralateral targets and only a few cells were double-labeled from each of the other pairs of targets. The double-labeled cells always totaled < 1% of the single-labeled populations. We conclude that collateral projections from the inferior colliculus to the MG and CN are virtually non-existent. Therefore, the ascending and descending projections to these targets arise from different cells. These cells could potentially receive different inputs and send different information to higher or lower centers of the auditory pathway.  相似文献

Neural tuning to sound durations is a useful filter for the identification of a variety of sounds. Previous studies have shown that the interaction between excitatory and inhibitory inputs plays a role in duration selectivity in echolocating bats. However, this has not been investigated in non-echolocating mammals. In the inferior colliculus (IC) of these mammals, it is recognized that the excitatory responses to sounds are mediated through AMPA and NMDA receptors while the inhibitory input is mediated through gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) and glycine receptors. The present study explores the potential interplay between inhibitory and excitatory inputs and its role in the duration selectivity of IC neurons in guinea pigs. It was found that the application of bicuculline (BIC, a GABA A blocker) and/or strychnine (STRY, a glycine blocker) eliminated or reduced duration tuning in most units that were duration tuned (32 out of 39 for BIC, 50 out of 64 for STRY, respectively). The inhibitory input (either by GABA or by glycine) appeared to have a stronger regulating effect on the early excitation mediated by AMPA than on later excitation by NMDA. This is more distinguishable in neurons that show duration selectivity. In conclusion, the inhibitory effect on the early responses appears to be the main contributor for the duration selectivity of the IC in guinea pigs; potential mechanisms for this duration selectivity are also discussed.  相似文献

The objective of this study is to verify the effects of gap marker spectrum on gap-evoked auditory responses. The gap-evoked potentials were recorded using electrodes implanted in the inferior colliculus (IC) and auditory cortex (AC) of guinea pigs. The gap markers were noise bursts in four frequency bands (500-8,000 Hz, 500-16,000 Hz, 500-32,000 Hz, and 16,000-32,000 Hz), and were tested at three sound levels. The onset response to the post-gap marker was measured to obtain the gap response threshold, and to establish input-output functions for latency and amplitude. Similar to previous behavioural studies, it was found that the gap-response threshold decreased with increasing marker bandwidth. This change was more significant at the cortical level in which the averaged gap-threshold decreased by approximately 2 ms with the bandwidth change. However, the gap threshold in the high frequency region (16,000-32,000 Hz) was comparable to that of the low frequency region (500-16,000 Hz). These results suggest that the total bandwidth of all auditory channels that are recruited determine the temporal resolution measured in gap-evoked potentials.  相似文献

This study attempts to determine if the neurons in the guinea pig inferior colliculus that project to the cochlear nucleus could use certain amino acid transmitters. The left inferior colliculus was ablated surgically to destroy projections descending to the cochlear nuclei. Nissl and silver stained sections of the brain stem indicated that this procedure destroyed most of the left inferior colliculus, but spared a small amount of collicular tissue ventrally and rostrally. Six to seven days after the ablation, degenerated fibers were present in the right inferior colliculus, in the left lateral lemniscus, and in the cochlear nucleus, bilaterally. Three to five days after the ablation, the uptake and electrically-evoked release of exogenous, radiolabeled D-aspartate, gamma-aminobutyrate, and glycine were measured in the three major subdivisions of the cochlear nucleus, the anteroventral, posteroventral, and dorsal divisions. These activities were compared to those in unlesioned controls. The ablation did not alter the uptake and release of the amino acids in the dorsal and posteroventral divisions of the cochlear nucleus. However, it lowered slightly (by 10-18%) the uptake and release of gamma-aminobutyrate and glycine in the anteroventral division, although the difference from the control group was not statistically significant. These findings suggest that most of the neurons in the inferior colliculus that project to the cochlear nucleus probably do not use glutamate, aspartate, gamma-aminobutyrate, or glycine as a transmitter. However, the possibility remains that a small proportion of the collicular projections to the anteroventral cochlear nucleus might use gamma-aminobutyrate or glycine as a transmitter.  相似文献

The distribution and intracellular localization of substance P (SP) in middle ear mucosa (MEM), cochlea and spiral ganglion (SG) were studied by immunohistochemical technique and immunoelectron microscopy. There was a widespread distribution of SP positive nerve fibers (NF) along the median and small vessels of MEM. SP-immunoreactivity (SP-IR) positive cells could be seen in the MEM near the promontorium tympani. In the Corti's organ, SP-IR positive products were located at the base of inner hair cells. The majority of positive NF emerged like strings of beads and were radially distributed from osseous spiral laminal to the Corti's organ. About 50% of the SG cells were SP-IR positive. Two types of SP-IR positive NF were found in the VIII cranial nerve by light microscopy. Small clear vesicles with a diameter of 50-70nm were localized in the cytoplasm of the type-I SG cells by immunoelectron microscopy. In the outer membrane and inside the mitochondria, SP-IR positive substances could be distinguished as an electron dense matter. The possibility of SP as an afferent neurotransmitter or modulator in cochlea and the significance of its presence in the MEM were discussed.  相似文献

Duration is a salient feature of acoustic signals including speech. Duration tuning was first reported in frogs and later in echolocating bats. More recently, duration tuning has been reported in non-echolocating mammals and appears to be a fundamental encoding mechanism throughout the animal kingdom. However, the duration tuning reported in these non-echolocating mammals appears to be much weaker than that in the previous studies on bats. In contrast to this finding, our recent study reported that duration tuning in the IC in guinea pigs appeared to be strong when it was measured using an appropriate temporal window. With such a temporal window, duration tuning was found to be compatible with that of echo-locating bats. In the present report, we further demonstrate that duration tuning in the IC of this species is established by interaction between excitation and GABAergic inhibition. In addition to overall increase in responsiveness, application of bicuculline(BIC), a GABA-A receptor antagonist, was found to significantly reduce or eliminate duration selectivity in 44 out of the 67 neurons that showed clear duration tuning from a sample of 340 neurons.  相似文献

Anterograde and retrograde tracing techniques were combined to determine whether auditory cortical axons contact cells in the cochlear nucleus that project to the inferior colliculus. FluoroRuby or fluorescein dextran was injected into auditory cortex to label cortical axons by anterograde transport. Different fluorescent tracers (Fast Blue, FluoroGold, FluoroRuby or fluorescein dextran) were injected into one or both inferior colliculi to label cells in the cochlear nucleus. After 12-15 days, the brain was processed for fluorescence microscopy and the cochlear nuclei were examined for apparent contacts between cortical axons and retrogradely labeled cochlear nucleus cells. The results suggest that axons from the ipsilateral or contralateral cortex contact fusiform and giant cells in the dorsal cochlear nucleus and multipolar cells in the ventral cochlear nucleus that project directly to the inferior colliculus. The contacts occur on cell bodies and dendrites. The target cells in the cochlear nucleus include cells that project ipsilaterally, contralaterally or bilaterally to the inferior colliculus. The results suggest that auditory cortex is in a position to exert direct effects on the monaural pathways that ascend from the cochlear nucleus.  相似文献

Binaural interactions within the inferior colliculus (IC) elicited by electric and acoustic stimuli were investigated in this study. Using a guinea pig model, binaural acoustic stimuli were presented with different time delays, as were combinations of binaural electric and acoustic stimuli. Averaged evoked potentials were measured using electrodes inserted into the central nucleus of the IC to obtain the binaural interaction component (BIC), computed by subtracting the sum of the two monaural responses from the binaural response. The BICs to acoustic-acoustic stimulation and electric-acoustic stimulation were found to be similar. The BIC amplitude increased with stimulus intensity, but the shapes of the delay functions were similar across the levels tested. The gross-potential data are thus consistent with the thesis that the central auditory system processes binaural electric and acoustic stimuli in a similar manner. These results suggest that the binaural auditory system can process combinations of electric and acoustic stimulation presented across ears and that evoked gross potentials may be used to measure such interaction.  相似文献
