A Protocol for Microprism-Based Two-Photon Imaging Of The Lateral Cortex In The Mouse Inferior Colliculus.
Article in Current protocols, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
The inferior colliculus (IC) is a central hub for auditory information processing that receives widespread convergent projections. The IC comprises three main subdivisions: the central nucleus of the IC (ICC), the dorsal cortex (DC), and the lateral cortex (LC). While the ICC receives primarily ascending auditory information, DC and LC receive major cortical and multisensory projections. The LC has repeated molecular motifs that govern its input-output relationships. However, because the LC is buried deep within a sulcus, it is difficult to image in behaving animals, making it challenging to answer questions about its functional organization. Here, we describe a protocol for coupling two-photon microscopy with a microprism to obtain cellular-resolution sagittal views of functional LC maps. We employed this novel approach to investigate neuronal responses to pure tones in relation to LC motifs. This method will not only provide new insights into the auditory system but will also permit imaging of hidden brain regions previously inaccessible by conventional means. © 2025 The Author(s).
