Efferent Inhibition of the Cochlea.
Cold Spring Harbor Perspectives in Medicine, 2018 Cholinergic efferent neurons originating in the brainstem innervate the acoustico-lateralis organs (inner ear, lateral line) of vertebrates. These release acetylcholine (ACh) to inhibit hair cells through activation of calcium-dependent potassium ...

Case Reports in Otolaryngology, 2013 Children with severe hearing loss most likely receive the greatest benefit from a cochlear implant (CI) when implanted at less than 2 years of age. Children with a hearing loss may also benefit greater from binaural sensory stimulation. Four children who

The cochlea as a smart structure [PDF]
Smart Materials and Structures, 2012 The cochlea is part of the inner ear and its mechanical response provides us with many aspects of our amazingly sensitive and selective hearing. The human cochlea is a coiled tube, with two main fluid chambers running along its length, separated by a 35 mm-long flexible partition that has its own internal dynamics. A dispersive wave can propagate along

Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2015 Conservation of a patient’s residual hearing and prevention of fibrous tissue/new bone formation around an electrode array are some of the major challenges in cochlear implant (CI) surgery.

Relationship of glucocorticoid receptor expression in peripheral blood mononuclear cells and the cochlea of guinea pigs and effects of dexamethasone administration. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 BACKGROUND: Glucocorticoids (GCs) are widely used to treat sudden sensorineural hearing loss (SSNHL) and significantly improve hearing. However, GC insensitivity has been observed in some patients of SSNHL.

Journal of Neurophysiology, 2018 There is indirect evidence that the mammalian cochlea in the low-frequency apical and the more commonly studied high-frequency basal regions function in fundamentally different ways.

Development, 2018 Lack of sensory hair cell (HC) regeneration in mammalian adults is a major contributor to hearing loss. In contrast, the neonatal mouse cochlea retains a transient capacity for regeneration, and forced Wnt activation in neonatal stages promotes ...

The Cochlea and the Carotid Canal [PDF]
Acta Radiologica, 1990 The carotid canal conveys a large artery and lies in close topographic relationship to the basal turn of the cochlea. The bony wall between them consists in some cases only of the petrous bone of the otic capsule. It can be as thin as 0.2 mm. In other cases the distance can be more than 6 mm.

Culturing Neurons on MEMS Fabricated P(VDF-TrFE) Films for Implantable Artificial Cochlea
Journal of Biomechanical Science and Engineering, 2010 In this paper, we report an in vitro study on the biocompatibility of poly(vinylidene fluoride-trifluoroethylene) (P(VDF-TrFE)) films for the implantable artificial cochlea.

Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2021 The organ of Corti (OC) comprises two types of sensory cells: outer hair cells (OHCs) and inner hair cells (IHCs). While both are mechanotransducers, OHCs serve as cochlear amplifiers, whereas IHCs transform sound into transmitter release. Reliable sound
