Immunocytochemical staining of the dorsal nucleus of the lateral lemniscus with a well characterized antiserum to glutamate decarboxylase reveals that all, or nearly all, cells in this nucleus show immunoreactivity without the use of agents to block axonal transport. Most somata and dendrites are also contacted by immunoreactive axonal endings. It has previously been established that this nucleus is richly innervated by ascending lemniscal fibers and contains different types of neurons that project to the inferior colliculus. One may conclude that this precollicular nucleus is a major GABAergic feedforward inhibitory center in the acoustic pathway.
用一种对谷氨酸脱羧酶特征明确的抗血清对外侧丘系背核进行免疫细胞化学染色显示，在不使用阻断轴突运输的试剂的情况下，该核中的所有或几乎所有细胞都呈现免疫反应性。大多数胞体和树突也与免疫反应性轴突终末相接触。此前已经确定，该核接受丰富的上行丘系纤维支配，并且包含投射到下丘的不同类型神经元。可以得出结论，这个丘前核是听觉通路中一个主要的γ-氨基丁酸能前馈抑制中心。
