Development of the Mammalian Auditory Hindbrain

摘要: Publisher Summary This chapter examines the organization and development of auditory brainstem in mammals. It emphasizes specificity laterality connections pathways along with precision topographic representation basilar membrane seen at multiple levels system. also considers system's normal summarizes response to peripheral manipulation during maturation. The fundamental system its topography are established early development, well before onset stimulus-driven activity. end-organ experiences growth accommodate ossification petrous portion temporal bone. nerve quickly grows into establishes adult-like morphology spatial order. ascending from cochlear nucleus midbrain develop their mature seemingly without forming transient projections contralateral structures. Within nuclei brainstem, dendroarchitecture Golgi Type I (projection) neurons is evident prior
