Sensory processing at ribbon synapses in the retina and the cochlea.
In recent years, sensory neuroscientists have made major efforts to dissect the structure and function of ribbon synapses which process sensory information in the eye and ear.

In the past, most inner ear diseases were thought to start with the impairment of the sensory epithelium of the cochlea before subsequently progressing to secondary neural degeneration.

Mitochondrial Damage and Necroptosis in Aging Cochlea
Age-related hearing loss (ARHL) is an irreversible, progressive neurodegenerative disorder and is presently untreatable. Previous studies using animal models have suggested mitochondrial damage and programmed cell death to be involved with ARHL. Thus, we

An analog electronic cochlea [PDF]
An analog electronic cochlea has been built in CMOS VLSI technology using micropower techniques. The key point of the model and circuit is that a cascade of simple, nearly linear, second-order filter stages with controllable Q parameters suffices to capture the physics of the fluid-dynamic traveling-wave system in the cochlea, including the effects of ...

Analysis of Pharmacokinetics in the Cochlea of the Inner Ear
Hearing loss affects >5% of the global population and therefore, has a great social and clinical impact. Sensorineural hearing loss, which can be caused by different factors, such as acoustic trauma, aging, and administration of certain classes of ...

Expression and localization of α2A-adrenergic receptor in the rat post-natal developing cochlea
Lots of adrenergic receptors (ARs) are widely present across the auditory pathways and are positioned to affect auditory and vestibular functions. However, noradrenergic regulation in the cochlea has not been well characterized.

The Active Traveling Wave in the Cochlea [PDF]
A sound stimulus entering the inner ear excites a deformation of the basilar membrane which travels along the cochlea towards the apex. It is well established that this wave-like disturbance is amplified by an active system.

Hair Cell Transduction, Tuning, and Synaptic Transmission in the Mammalian Cochlea.
Sound pressure fluctuations striking the ear are conveyed to the cochlea, where they vibrate the basilar membrane on which sit hair cells, the mechanoreceptors of the inner ear.
