Cellular and synaptic specializations for sub-millisecond precision in the mammalian auditory brainstem

open access: yesFrontiers in Cellular Neuroscience
Audition in all animals relies on delicate sound pressure variations arriving at the ears, and these sound waves are intertwined representations of the complex auditory environment.

Modelling the influence of short term depression in vesicle release and stochastic calcium channel gating on auditory nerve spontaneous firing statistics

open access: yesFrontiers in Computational Neuroscience, 2014
We propose several modifications to an existing computational model of stochastic vesicle release in inner hair cell ribbon synapses, with the aim of producing simulated auditory nerve fibre spiking data that more closely matches empirical data ...

Useful residual hearing despite radiological findings suggestive of anacusis [PDF]

open access: yes, 1999
A severe malformation of the inner ear, often referred to as severe labyrinthine dysplasia or common cavity deformity, consists of an absent or dilated cochlear basal coil, wide communication with the vestibule and a tapered internal acoustic meatus and ...

Electrophysiological Evaluation of the Auditory Nerve in Normal Hearing Patients with Absence of Stapedial Reflex

open access: yesInternational Archives of Otorhinolaryngology, 2009
Introduction: The stapedial reflex is a stapedial muscle contraction located in the middle ear, induced by an intense acoustic stimulus. It is expected that individuals with auditory thresholds within the normality standards have stapedial reflexes once ...

Mechanisms of sensorineural cell damage, death and survival in the cochlea. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
The majority of acquired hearing loss, including presbycusis, is caused by irreversible damage to the sensorineural tissues of the cochlea. This article reviews the intracellular mechanisms that contribute to sensorineural damage in the cochlea, as well ...

A case of auditory neuropathy revealed by OTOF gene mutation analysis in a junior high school girl

open access: yesJournal of Otology, 2017
Objective: Congenital auditory neuropathy (AN) affects hearing and speech development. The degree of hearing difficulty in congenital AN varies as a function of pathology at the inner ear hair cell (IHC) synapses or the auditory nerve.

Radiate and Planar Multipolar Neurons of the Mouse Anteroventral Cochlear Nucleus: Intrinsic Excitability and Characterization of their Auditory Nerve Input

open access: yesFrontiers in Neural Circuits, 2017
Radiate and planar neurons are the two major types of multipolar neurons in the ventral cochlear nucleus (VCN). Both cell types receive monosynaptic excitatory synaptic inputs from the auditory nerve, but have different responses to sound and project to ...

Parallel Auditory Filtering By Sustained and Transient Channels Separates Coarticulated Vowels and Consonants [PDF]

open access: yes, 1996
A neural model of peripheral auditory processing is described and used to separate features of coarticulated vowels and consonants. After preprocessing of speech via a filterbank, the model splits into two parallel channels, a sustained channel and a ...
