Auditory and vestibular hair cell stereocilia: relationship between functionality and inner ear disease

The Journal of Laryngology & Otology, 2011
AbstractThe stereocilia of the inner ear are unique cellular structures which correlate anatomically with distinct cochlear functions, including mechanoelectrical transduction, cochlear amplification, adaptation, frequency selectivity and tuning. Their function is impaired by inner ear stressors, by various types of hereditary deafness, syndromic ...

Conditional Tnfaip6-Knockout in Inner Ear Hair Cells Does not Alter Auditory Function

Neuroscience Bulletin
Noise-induced hearing loss is a worldwide public health issue that is characterized by temporary or permanent changes in hearing sensitivity. This condition is closely linked to inflammatory responses, and interventions targeting the inflammatory gene tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNFα) are known to mitigate cochlear noise damage. TNFα-induced proteins (

Compound synapses within the GABAergic innervation of the auditory inner hair cells in the adolescent mouse

The Journal of Comparative Neurology, 1997
Ultrastructural investigation of the gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) component of the inner spiral bundle in adolescent mice revealed a pathway of glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD)-positive and -negative fibers and vesiculated endings that contact inner hair cells and their afferents through a complex of axosomatic and axodendritic synapses ...

Two-tone suppression in inner hair cell responses: Correlates of rate suppression in the auditory nerve

Hearing Research, 1992
Inner hair cell (IHC) recordings were made from second turn of the guinea pig cochlea where characteristic frequencies are approximately 4000 Hz. In order to compare IHC responses with rate suppression measured in the auditory nerve, suppressors were introduced that produced little or no response in the hair cell.

Vascular endothelial growth factor is required for regeneration of auditory hair cells in the avian inner ear

Hearing Research, 2020
Hair cells in the auditory organ of the vertebrate inner ear are the sensory receptors that convert acoustic stimuli into electrical signals that are conveyed along the auditory nerve to the brainstem. Hair cells are highly susceptible to ototoxic drugs, infection, and acoustic trauma, which can cause cellular degeneration.

Distribution of the 275 kD hair cell antigen and cell surface specialisations on auditory and vestibular hair bundles in the chicken inner ear

Journal of Comparative Neurology, 1992
AbstractThe 275 kD hair cell antigen (HCA) is a protein that is specifically associated with the apical surface of sensory hair cells in the chick inner ear. A comparative study of the vestibular and auditory organs of the inner ear, using both wholemounts and cryosections double labelled for the HCA and F‐actin, reveals that two distinct types of hair

How are the Inner Hair Cells and Auditory Nerve Fibers Activated without the Mediation of the Outer Hair Cells and the Cochlear Amplifier?

Journal of Basic and Clinical Physiology and Pharmacology, 2010
The present study was designed to assess whether, in the presence of a depression of the cochlear amplifier i.e. a sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL), the inner hair cells (IHCs) require the presence of a normal endocochlear potential for transduction. An SNHL was induced by injecting salicylic acid (which binds to the motor protein prestin in the outer

The effects of the activation of the inner-hair-cell basolateral K+ channels on auditory nerve responses

Hearing Research, 2018
The basolateral membrane of the mammalian inner hair cell (IHC) expresses large voltage and Ca2+ gated outward K+ currents. To quantify how the voltage-dependent activation of the K+ channels affects the functionality of the auditory nerve innervating the IHC, this study adopts a model of mechanical-to-neural transduction in which the basolateral K ...

An Analog VLSI Implementation of the Inner Hair Cell and Auditory Nerve Using a Dual AGC Model

IEEE Transactions on Biomedical Circuits and Systems, 2014
An analog inner hair cell and auditory nerve circuit using a dual AGC model has been implemented using 0.35 micron mixed-signal technology. A fully-differential current-mode architecture is used and the ability to correct channel mismatch is evaluated with matched layouts as well as with digital current tuning.

Onset and offset responses from inferior colliculus and auditory cortex to paired noisebursts: inner hair cell loss

Hearing Research, 2002
Thirteen adult chinchillas were anesthetized with ketamine/acepromazine and tungsten electrodes were placed in the right inferior colliculus (IC) and auditory cortex (AC). A reference electrode was implanted in the anterior cranium. Following a recovery period, AC and IC responses to left ear stimulation were obtained from unanesthetized animals ...
