Transmission Disrupted: Modeling Auditory Synaptopathy in Zebrafish

open access: yesFrontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2018
Sensorineural hearing loss is the most common form of hearing loss in humans, and results from either dysfunction in hair cells, the sensory receptors of sound, or the neurons that innervate hair cells.

A counter gradient of Activin A and follistatin instructs the timing of hair cell differentiation in the murine cochlea

open access: yeseLife, 2019
The mammalian auditory sensory epithelium has one of the most stereotyped cellular patterns known in vertebrates. Mechano-sensory hair cells are arranged in precise rows, with one row of inner and three rows of outer hair cells spanning the length of the

Characterization of the Usher Syndrome gene CDH23: implications for mechanosensation in the vertebrate inner ear [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
Deafness is the most common form of sensory impairment afflicting the human population. Approximately one in eight hundred children is born with serious hearing impairment and more than half of these cases are likely due to single gene defects.

Noise-induced and age-related hearing loss:  new perspectives and potential therapies [version 1; referees: 4 approved]

open access: yesF1000Research, 2017
The classic view of sensorineural hearing loss has been that the primary damage targets are hair cells and that auditory nerve loss is typically secondary to hair cell degeneration. Recent work has challenged that view.

An antibody to RGMa promotes regeneration of cochlear synapses after noise exposure

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2021
Auditory neuropathy is caused by the loss of afferent input to the brainstem via the components of the neural pathway comprising inner hair cells and the first order neurons of the spiral ganglion.

The phase response of primary auditory afferents in a songbird (Sturnus vulgaris L.) [PDF]

open access: yes, 1988
The effects of stimulus frequency and intensity on phase-locking characteristics of cochlear ganglion cells were studied in the starling. All cells showed phase-locking to tone stimuli within their response area. Phase-locking at CF is found on average 9

Notch signaling limits supporting cell plasticity in the hair cell-damaged early postnatal murine cochlea. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2013
In mammals, auditory hair cells are generated only during embryonic development and loss or damage to hair cells is permanent. However, in non-mammalian vertebrate species, such as birds, neighboring glia-like supporting cells regenerate auditory hair ...

Ontogenetic development of inner ear hair cell organization in the New Zealand carpet shark Cephaloscyllium isabellum

open access: yesFrontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022
IntroductionThe inner ear hair cells of fishes can provide insight into the early evolution of vertebrate inner ear structure. Fishes represent some of the first vertebrates to evolve auditory capacity, and the same basic structure, the sensory hair cell,

Static length changes of cochlear outer hair cells can tune low-frequency hearing.

open access: yesPLoS Computational Biology, 2018
The cochlea not only transduces sound-induced vibration into neural spikes, it also amplifies weak sound to boost its detection. Actuators of this active process are sensory outer hair cells in the organ of Corti, whereas the inner hair cells transduce ...

Aminoglycoside-induced hair cell death of inner ear organs causes functional deficits in adult zebrafish (Danio rerio). [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2013
Aminoglycoside antibiotics, like gentamicin, kill inner ear sensory hair cells in a variety of species including chickens, mice, and humans. The zebrafish (Danio rerio) has been used to study hair cell cytotoxicity in the lateral line organs of larval ...
