(A) Simplified diagram illustrating some of the major excitatory inputs to the DNLL (LSO, lateral superior olive) and organization of DNLL projections to the IC at P12. (B) Schematic diagram summarizing plastic changes in the DNLL projections to IC after cochlear ablation. Alternating light and dark gray bars represent the pattern of afferent bands that are characteristic in the central nucleus of the IC. The condition of the cochleas is indicated by the spiral symbol. Altered influence of the cochlea on DNLL is indicated by the arrows in B. In the controls and in the IC contralateral to cochlear ablation, DNLL axonal branching is refined and maintained within banded compartments. In the IC ipsilateral to the cochlear ablation, DNLL axonal branching proliferates into adjacent spaces and obliterates the banded pattern.
