3. In type II/III-type IV pairs with inhibitory troughs, the excitatory area of the type II/III unit’s response map was largely within the inhibitory region of the type IV unit’s response map; the maximum overlap of excitatory areas in this group was 6 dB. On the other hand, four of the five pairs in which no inhibitory trough was observed had greater overlap of excitatory areas. In 11 of the 12 pairs with an inhibitory trough, the type II/III unit had little or no spontaneous activity (less than 2.5 spikes/s). 4. In one case the response map of a type IV cell was observed before and after the disappearance due to injury of a simultaneously recorded type II/III neuron. The portion of the inhibitory region of the type IV’s response map originally overlapped by the type II/III cell’s excitatory area was partially transformed into an excitatory region following loss of the type II/III unit. 5. Cross-correlograms were obtained for 20 pairs consisting of two type IV units. In half the cases there were no significant features in the cross-correlograms. In seven cases the cross-correlograms had a pair of excitatory peaks in the vicinity of the origin, which are most likely due to the effects of shared input. The remaining three cases had complex cross-correlograms. The response maps of the two units in all type IV-type IV pairs overlapped extensively. 6. These results are consistent with the idea that the type II/III responses are recorded from interneurons in the DCN that contribute inhibitory terminals to cells with type IV response properties.
