Hyperpolarization-activated cation channels confer tonotopic specialization for temporal encoding of sound frequency in the cochlear nucleus

Kwame Owusu-Nyantakyi, Lashaka Sierra Hamlette, Go Ashida, Sonia R. Weimann et al.

Short summary

A tonotopic gradient of hyperpolarization-activated cation (IH) channels, specifically HCN1, was identified in the avian nucleus magnocellularis (NM), enabling neurons to better encode temporally patterned sound frequency inputs.
