Confocal images illustrating inhibitory (GlyT2, green) and excitatory (VGluT1, magenta) synaptic inputs counterstained with MAP2 (blue) at two interaural levels through the cochlear nucleus (CN) of naked mole-rat.

<p><b>(A)</b> Coronal section showing prominent dorsal (DCN) and posteroventral (PVCN) subdivisions of the CN. Note in the inset the distribution of the inputs apposing a neuron located in the region of the octopus cells. <b>(B)</b> Rostral section of the CN including the anteroventral subdivision (AVCN). Note in the inset a detail of synaptic contacting a bushy cell. Scale bars: 200 μm, insets: 10 μm.
