Ricardo Gomez Nieto is Research Professor at the University of Salamanca. He is interested on the neuroanatomy and neurophysiology of the cochlear nucleus and the superior olivary complex. He is currently studying the neural substrates of the auditory brainstem that contribute to the prepulse inhibition of the acoustic startle reflex. Ricardo is also working on the validation of the hamster GASH/Sal as a model of audiogenic seizure.
