      abstract = {The cochlear nuclei are the first brain centers for  auditory processing, where synaptic inhibition shapes  neural output. Using patch-clamp recordings in avian and  mammalian brainstem slices, this study examined inhibitory  mechanisms. In chicks, inhibitory currents varied across  nuclei specialized for timing or intensity processing, with  glycine and GABA receptors contributing differentially. In  mammals, glycinergic vertical cells exhibited fast-spiking  properties but weak individual influence on principal  neurons, requiring coordinated activity. Cartwheel cells,  by contrast, fired spontaneously, and noradrenaline  enhanced stimulus-evoked inhibition by suppressing  spontaneous firing. These findings reveal diverse  inhibitory strategies for auditory signal processing.},
