Topographic organization of the dorsal nucleus of the lateral lemniscus in the cat.

Journal article

The dorsal nucleus of the lateral lemniscus (DNLL) is an auditory structure of the brainstem. It plays an important role in binaural processing and sound localization and it provides the inferior colliculus with an inhibitory projection. The DNLL is a highly conserved auditory structure across mammals, but differences among species in its detailed organization have been reported. The main goal of this study was to analyze the topographic organization of the cat DNLL. Single, small iontophoret...
