Wild, JohnKrutzfeldt, NilsKubke, Maria2011-08-112009-11HEARING RES 257(1-2):1-7 Nov 20090378-5955https://hdl.handle.net/2292/7290The presence and nature of a descending projection from the ventral nucleus of the lateral lemniscus (LLV) to the cochlear nuclei (NA, NM) and the third-order nucleus laminaris (NL) was investigated in a songbird using tract tracing and GAD immunohistochemistry. Tracer injections into LLV produced anterograde label in the ipsilateral NA, NM and NL, which was found not to be GABAergic. Double retrograde labeling from LLV and NA/NM/NL ruled out the possibility that the LLV projection actually arose from collaterals of superior olivary projections to NA/NM/NL. The LLV projection may be involved in the discrimination of laterality of auditory input. (C) 2009 Elsevier B.V.
