Nitric oxide regulates the firing rate of neuronal subtypes in the guinea pig ventral cochlear nucleus (2019)
Journal Article
Hockley, A., Berger, J. I., Smith, P. A., Palmer, A. R., & Wallace, M. N. (2020). Nitric oxide regulates the firing rate of neuronal subtypes in the guinea pig ventral cochlear nucleus. European Journal of Neuroscience, 51(4), 963-983. https://doi.org/10.1111/ejn.14572

The gaseous free radical, nitric oxide (NO) acts as a ubiquitous neuromodulator, contributing to synaptic plasticity in a complex way that can involve either long term potentiation or depression. It is produced by neuronal nitric oxide synthase (nNOS... Read More about Nitric oxide regulates the firing rate of neuronal subtypes in the guinea pig ventral cochlear nucleus.

Gap-induced inhibition of the post-auricular muscle response in humans and guinea pigs (2019)
Journal Article
Wilson, C. A., Berger, J. I., de Boer, J., Sereda, M., Palmer, A. R., Hall, D. A., & Wallace, M. N. (2019). Gap-induced inhibition of the post-auricular muscle response in humans and guinea pigs. Hearing Research, 374, 13-23. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.heares.2019.01.009

A common method for measuring changes in temporal processing sensitivity in both humans and animals makes use of GaP-induced Inhibition of the Acoustic Startle (GPIAS). It is also the basis of a common method for detecting tinnitus in rodents. Howeve... Read More about Gap-induced inhibition of the post-auricular muscle response in humans and guinea pigs.
