Anatomy of Olivocochlear Neurons
... 2.3.2 Terminations of LOC Fibers Both groups of OC neurons have fibers that branch extensively in the cochlea (Fig. 2.3). The end result of the branching is that a relatively small number of OC neurons gives rise to numerous synapses in the cochlea. LOC fibers synapse mainly on dendrites of auditor ...

The ventral division can be further subdivided into the anterior ventral cochlear nucleus (AVCN), and the posterior ventral cochlear nucleus (PVCN). Each division of the CN receives ...

Single-Trial Decoding of Visual Attention from Local Field Potentials
