Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Susan D. Motts' research focuses on the neuroanatomy of the auditory system, particularly the cholinergic pathways in the brainstem. Her work has investigated the connections between cholinergic cells in the pontomesencephalic tegmentum and various auditory structures, extending from the cochlear nucleus to the cerebral cortex. Motts has also studied the origins of cholinergic input to the inferior colliculus and the distribution of cholinergic and GABAergic cells within the guinea pig brainstem. She has explored the use of retrograde tracers for identifying axon collaterals, employing multiple fluorescent tracers. Her scholarship metrics include an h-index of 13, with 19 total publications and 609 citations. Key collaborators include D. Mike McDaniel and Richard A. Neeley, with whom she shares multiple publications.
