Abstract:
:1. The discharge patterns of 40 neurons in the central nucleus of the inferior colliculus (ICC) of the chinchilla were evaluated before and after acute cochlea trauma from intense tone exposure. Single-unit recordings were obtained from neurons in the ICC contralateral to the sound-stimulated ear. Cochlear trauma was induced with a short-duration (15-25 min), high-intensity pure tone (95-115 dB SPL) at a frequency above the neuron's characteristic frequency (CF). The aim of the traumatizing exposure was to damage the peripheral sensory receptors associated with frequencies above the neuron's CF. The damage was expected to attenuate inputs to the neural circuits responsible for activating the inhibitory sidebands above CF. 2. Three types of frequency-threshold tuning curves were observed before the exposure: 1) open V tuning curves (55%) that became wider as sound intensity increased; 2) level-tolerant tuning curves (37.5%) that maintained a very narrow bandwidth even at high sound intensities; and 3) upper-threshold tuning curves (7.5%) in which excitatory responses were elicited at low and moderate intensities, but not at high intensities. The traumatizing exposure caused a dramatic widening of level-tolerant (80% of sample) and upper-threshold tuning curves (100% of sample) at high sound intensities but caused almost no change in the low-threshold tip of the tuning curves. By contrast, tuning curves with an open V configuration were generally unaffected (approximately 90% of sample) by the traumatizing exposure. 3. Discharge rate-level functions in the ICC were of two general types: 1) strongly nonmonotonic (60%) or 2) saturating, monotonic (40%). The traumatizing exposure caused a significant increase in the suprathreshold discharge rates in 70% of all neurons studied. Among the neurons with strongly nonmonotonic discharge rate-level functions, 93% showed a significant increase in discharge rate. 4. The poststimulus time histograms (PSTH) to tone bursts were of three main types: 1) onset, 2) pauser, and 3) sustained responders. The traumatizing exposure had almost no effect on the PSTH of onset or sustained responders. However, pause PSTH frequently (75%) showed a significant decrease in the pause duration and an increase in the sustained discharge rate following the pause after the exposure. 5. The results suggest that the response properties of neurons with extremely narrow tuning curves and nonmonotonic discharge rate-level functions are shaped by an inhibitory circuit that is activated by frequencies above the high-frequency flank of the tuning curve. This inhibitory circuit modifies the excitatory response in the following ways: 1) it narrows the excitatory response area at suprathreshold intensities particularly at frequencies below CF, 2) it alters the shape of the discharge rate-level function by suppressing the discharge rates at suprathreshold intensities, and 3) it modifies the temporal discharge pattern of the pause PSTH by suppressing neural activity that occurs after the onset response. The effects of these inhibitory inputs can be reduced (disinhibition) by damaging the sensory cells in the inner ear that activate this circuit. The exact locus of the inhibitory circuit(s) is unknown but may involve inhibitory inputs located at the level of the cochlear nucleus and/or at levels up to the inferior colliculus.
