Article Title: Noise-induced hyperactivity in the inferior colliculus: its relationship with hyperactivity in the dorsal cochlear nucleus
Article Snippet: There is also evidence for an upregulation of cholinergic inputs to the cochlear nucleus following noise exposure and cochlear ablation ( Chang et al. 2002 ; Jin and Godfrey 2006 ; Jin et al. 2006 ; Kaltenbach and Zhang 2006 ).

Article Title: Origin of hyperactivity in the hamster dorsal cochlear nucleus following intense sound exposure.
Article Snippet: This study sought to determine whether maintenance of noise-induced dorsal cochlear nucleus (DCN) hyperactivity depends on descending projections.. Twentytwo hamsters were exposed under anesthesia to a 10kHz tone at 125–130 dB SPL for 4 hr, and another 21 unexposed animals served as controls.. After approximately 4–6 weeks of recovery, surgical transections were made to isolate the DCN from its adjacent brainstem structures.

Stryker cholinergic inputs
(A) For granular and supragranular layers, developmental changes in the connectivity of local circuits are illustrated. Excitatory neurons are illustrated in black. PV+ (blue), SST+ (burgundy), and VIP+ (green) inputs are color coded, along with neuromodulatory inputs such as acetylcholine (purple). Excitatory TC inputs are shown in black. Developmental age and time are annotated at the bottom. L4 changes in interneuron connectivity precede L2/3 changes (Jiang et al., 2010), with PV maturation in L2/3 correlated in time to CP onset and closure (Fagiolini et al., 2004). L2/3 connectivity matures during this period (Cossell et al., 2015; Ko et al., 2013). SST+ connectivity to PV+ neurons, initially strong, grows weaker during this time and loses sensitivity to <t>cholinergic</t> modulation (Yaeger et al., 2019).

(A) For granular and supragranular layers, developmental changes in the connectivity of local circuits are illustrated. Excitatory neurons are illustrated in black. PV+ (blue), SST+ (burgundy), and VIP+ (green) inputs are color coded, along with neuromodulatory inputs such as acetylcholine (purple). Excitatory TC inputs are shown in black. Developmental age and time are annotated at the bottom. L4 changes in interneuron connectivity precede L2/3 changes (Jiang et al., 2010), with PV maturation in L2/3 correlated in time to CP onset and closure (Fagiolini et al., 2004). L2/3 connectivity matures during this period (Cossell et al., 2015; Ko et al., 2013). SST+ connectivity to PV+ neurons, initially strong, grows weaker during this time and loses sensitivity to cholinergic modulation (Yaeger et al., 2019).

Figure Lengend Snippet: Light activation of local cholinergic inputs suppresses spontaneous synaptic activity in awake animals. A, Illustration of recording and optogenetic stimulation setup in awake head-fixed mice. B, Spontaneous Vm (black) and whisking (gray) single traces recorded simultaneously together with mean Vm (C) and SD Vm (D) of the example neuron recorded at 341 μm below pial surface. G, Population mean Vm. H, Population Vm SD. E, Top, optogenetic stimulation squared pulse. Middle, Examples of single trials of whisking signal from one animal. Bottom, Whisking signal averaged over 60 trials. F, Whisk power. I, Frequency of spontaneous PSPs. J, Amplitude of spontaneous PSPs. Blue bar marks optogenetic stimulation. Gray lines mark single neurons (the example cell is in color), black lines mark population mean ± SD. *p < 0.05, n.s., non significant, G–J, Wilcoxon's signed-rank test, n = 7 cells, F, Wilcoxon's signed-rank test, n = 5 animals.

Article Snippet: Cholinergic modulation of sensory response SNR As far as we know, this study is the first to report the effect of direct optogenetic activation of cholinergic inputs on subthreshold cortical dynamics during sensory stimulation.

Techniques: Activation Assay, Activity Assay

Cholinergic stimulation reduces the trial-to-trial variability of synaptic response to repetitive whisker stimulation. A, B, Vm traces of evoked responses to repetitive whisker stimulation (10 Hz) before (A) and after (B) NB stimulation. C, Mean trace. D, Traces SD. E–H, Same but in control and during optogenetic stimulation. WS, Whisker stimulation. Dashed lines mark whisker deflection onset.

Cholinergic stimulation increases the SNR of subthreshold sensory responses. A, Population mean Vm (Vm) during whisker response. B, Population Vm SD during whisker response. C, SNR. D, Signal-amplitude. E, Noise amplitude. F, Response amplitude along whisker stimulation train normalized to the first response in the train in control conditions. Lack of asterisk means no significant difference. G, AAR calculated as the averaged response amplitude of the last three whisker stimuli in the train divided by the amplitude of the response amplitude of the first stimulus. H–N, Same as in A–G, but in control and during optogenetic stimulation. Gray lines mark single neurons (the example cell is in color), black lines mark population mean ± SD. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001, n.s., non significant. F, Two-way repeated-measures ANOVA (A–E, G), Wilcoxon's signed-rank test, n = 17 cells. M, Two-way repeated-measures ANOVA (H–L, N), Wilcoxon's signed-rank test, n = 11 cells.
