Localization of TMC1 and LHFPL5 in auditory hair cells in neonatal and adult mice
The channel that governs mechanotransduction (MT) by hair cells in the inner ear has been investigated intensively for 4 decades, but its precise molecular composition remains enigmatic. Transmembrane channel‐like protein 1 (TMC1) was recently identified

During development, the sensory cells of the cochlea, the inner hair cells (IHCs), fire spontaneous calcium action potentials. This activity at the pre-hearing stage allows the IHCs to autonomously excite the auditory nerve fibers and hence, represents ...

Before the onset of hearing, which occurs around postnatal day 12 (P12) in mice, inner hair cells (IHCs) of the immature cochlea generate sound-independent Ca2+ action potentials (APs), which stimulate the auditory pathway and guide maturation of ...

Evaluation of inner hair cell and nerve fiber loss as sufficient pathologies underlying auditory neuropathy [PDF]
Auditory neuropathy is a hearing disorder characterized by normal function of outer hair cells, evidenced by intact cochlear microphonic (CM) potentials and otoacoustic emissions (OAEs), with absent or severely dys-synchronized auditory brainstem responses (ABRs).

Cochlear Model for Hearing Loss [PDF]
In many psychoacoustical tasks, hearing-impaired subjects display abnormal audiograms and poor understanding of speech compared to normal listeners. Existing models that explain the performance of the hearing impaired indicate that possible sources for ...

RNA-seq transcriptomic analysis of adult zebrafish inner ear hair cells
Although hair cells are the sensory receptors of the auditory and vestibular systems in the ears of all vertebrates, hair cell properties are different between non-mammalian vertebrates and mammals.

Inner Ear Hair Cell Protection in Mammals against the Noise-Induced Cochlear Damage
Inner ear hair cells are mechanosensory receptors that perceive mechanical sound and help to decode the sound in order to understand spoken language. Exposure to intense noise may result in the damage to the inner ear hair cells, causing noise-induced ...

Mutations in a number of genes encoding mitochondrial aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases lead to non-syndromic and/or syndromic sensorineural hearing loss in humans, while their cellular and physiological pathology in cochlea has rarely been investigated in vivo.

Lhx3, a LIM domain transcription factor, is regulated by Pou4f3 in the auditory but not in the vestibular system [PDF]
A dominant mutation of the gene encoding the POU4F3 transcription factor underlies human non-syndromic progressive hearing loss DFNA15. Using oligonucleotide microarrays to generate expression profiles of inner ears of Pou4f3 ddl/ ddl mutant and wild ...

Individual synaptic vesicles mediate stimulated exocytosis from cochlear inner hair cells
Significance Synaptic transmission is codetermined by presynaptic and postsynaptic neurons. Therefore, to understand how the inner hair cell (IHC) signals to spiral ganglion neurons at the first synapse in the auditory pathway, here we directly studied ...
