title: Noradrenaline enhances signal-to-noise ratio of inhibitory inputs in the dorsal cochlear nucleus.
abstract: What are the mechanisms that enhance the response to behaviorally relevant external stimuli? In this issue of Neuron, Kuo and Trussell show that in the dorsal cochlear nucleus, noradrenaline functions to simultaneously reduce spontaneous inhibitory inputs while increasing evoked inhibition.
