Article Synopsis
- This study investigates the vibration profiles of neuronal cells and brain tumor tissues using a novel contact-free method that transforms an atomic force microscope into a sensitive microphone.
- The research found a vibration frequency of 3.4 Hz in cultured rat hippocampal neurons, with the ability to change this frequency through pharmacological interventions.
- The study also highlighted that malignant astrocytoma tissues exhibited distinct vibration patterns compared to meningioma and neocortical tissues, allowing for real-time differentiation among these tissue types through acoustic analysis.
Input-specific remodeling is observed both in the primary auditory cortex (AI) and the ventral division of the medial geniculate body of the thalamus (MGBv) through motivation such as learning. Here, we show the role of AI in the MGBv remodeling induced by the electrical stimulation (ES) of the central division of the inferior colliculus (ICc). For the MGBv neurons with frequency tunings different from those of electrically stimulated ICc neurons, their frequency tunings shifted towards the tunings of the ICc neurons.
