title: Observations on tonotopic organization within the rat inferior colliculus using 2-deoxy-D[1-3H] glucose.
abstract: Tonotopic organization is a major feature of central auditory structures. The tritiated 2-deoxyglucose metabolic marking technique is demonstrated to be useful for visualizing isofrequency contours in the rat inferior colliculus. Following pure-tone stimulation, the central nucleus of the inferior colliculus shows discrete, prominent banding patterns and a well-organized tonotopic arrangement.
