Description
An account of the resource
Neurons in the chicken nucleus laminaris (NL), the third-order auditory neurons that detect the interaural time differences that enable animals to localize sounds in the horizontal plane, receive glutamatergic excitation from the cochlear nucleus magnocellularis (NM) and GABAergic inhibition from the ipsilateral superior olivary nucleus. Here, we study metabotropic glutamate receptor (mGluR)- and GABAB receptor (GABABR)-mediated modulation of synaptic transmission in NL neurons. Gramicidin-perforated recordings from acute brain stem slice preparations showed that the reversal potential of the GABAergic responses in NL neurons was more depolarized than the spike threshold. Activation of the GABAergic input produced a mix of inhibitory and excitatory actions in NL neurons. The inhibitory action is known to be critical in improving the acuity of temporal processing of sounds. The excitatory action, however, would reduce the phase locking fidelity of NL neurons in response to their excitatory inputs from the NM. We show that activation of presynaptic mGluRs or GABABRs by either exogenous agonists or synaptically released neurotransmitters reduced the GABAergic responses, preventing the excitatory action of GABA while leaving the inhibitory action intact. Unlike most CNS synapses, the glutamatergic transmission in the NL was not modulated by either mGluRs or GABABRs, indicating that fixed (nonmodulatory) excitatory inputs to the NL may be optimal for coincidence detection. This study contributes to our understanding of how selective neuromodulation is achieved to suit a particular function of neuronal circuits in the brain.

Description
An account of the resource
In the mustached bat's inferior colliculus (IC), combination-sensitive neurons display time-sensitive facilitatory interactions between inputs tuned to distinct spectral elements in sonar or social vocalizations. Here we compare roles of ionotropic receptors to glutamate (iGluRs), glycine (GlyRs), and GABA (GABA(A)Rs) in facilitatory combination-sensitive interactions. Facilitatory responses to 36 single IC neurons were recorded before, during, and after local application of antagonists to these receptors. The NMDA receptor antagonist CPP [(+/-)-3-(2-carboxypiperazin-4-yl)-propyl-1-phosphonic acid], alone (n = 14) or combined with AMPA receptor antagonist NBQX (n = 22), significantly reduced or eliminated responses to best frequency (BF) sounds across a broad range of sound levels, but did not eliminate combination-sensitive facilitation. In a subset of neurons, GABA(A)R blockers bicuculline or gabazine were applied in addition to iGluR blockers. GABA(A)R blockers did not "uncover" residual iGluR-mediated excitation, and only rarely eliminated facilitation. In nearly all neurons for which the GlyR antagonist strychnine was applied in addition to iGluR blockade (22 of 23 neurons, with or without GABA(A)R blockade), facilitatory interactions were eliminated. Thus, neither glutamate nor GABA neurotransmission are required for facilitatory combination-sensitive interactions in IC. Instead, facilitation may depend entirely on glycinergic inputs that are presumed to be inhibitory. We propose that glycinergic inputs tuned to two distinct spectral elements in vocal signals each activate postinhibitory rebound excitation. When rebound excitations from two spectral elements coincide, the neuron discharges. Excitation from glutamatergic inputs, tuned to the BF of the neuron, is superimposed onto this facilitatory interaction, presumably mediating responses to a broader range of acoustic signals.
