Activated notch causes deafness by promoting a supporting cell phenotype in developing auditory hair cells. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
To determine whether activated Notch can promote a supporting cell fate during sensory cell differentiation in the inner ear.An activated form of the Notch1 receptor (NICD) was expressed in early differentiating hair cells using a Gfi1-Cre mouse allele ...

Hair cell regeneration, reinnervation, and restoration of hearing thresholds in the avian hearing organ

Cell Reports
Summary: Hearing starts, at the cellular level, with mechanoelectrical transduction by sensory hair cells. Sound information is then transmitted via afferent synaptic connections with auditory neurons.

C1ql1 is expressed in adult outer hair cells of the cochlea in a tonotopic gradient.

PLoS ONE, 2021
Hearing depends on the transduction of sounds into neural signals by the inner hair cells of the cochlea. Cochleae also have outer hair cells with unique electromotile properties that increase auditory sensitivity, but they are particularly susceptible ...

Molecular Remodeling of Tip Links Underlies Mechanosensory Regeneration in Auditory Hair Cells

PLoS Biology, 2013
Backscatter scanning electron microscopy and conventional whole cell patch-clamp experiments reveal a two-step mechanism for the regeneration of tip links, the crucial element of mechanotransduction machinery in the hair cells of the inner ear.

Insights into the regulation of hearing regeneration

Frontiers in Audiology and Otology
Our perception of sound is mediated by sound-sensitive hair cells in the inner ear, located in a specialized neuro-epithelium that transmits information to the auditory cortex via the auditory pathway.

Specific Influences of Early Acoustic Environments on Cochlear Hair Cells in Postnatal Mice

Neural Plasticity, 2018
The auditory function develops and matures after birth in many mammalian species. After hearing onset, environmental sounds exert profound and long-term effects on auditory functions.

Interactions of Interaural Time and Level Differences in Spatial Hearing with Cochlear Implants

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Differences in timing (ΔT) are weighted heavily compared to differences in loudness (ΔL) in binaural hearing with cochlear implants. Abstract Normally hearing humans can localize sound sources quite accurately, with minimum audible angles as small as 1°. To achieve this, these auditory pathways combine information from multiple acoustic cues, including

Artificial induction of Sox21 regulates sensory cell formation in the embryonic chicken inner ear.

PLoS ONE, 2012
During embryonic development, hair cells and support cells in the sensory epithelia of the inner ear derive from progenitors that express Sox2, a member of the SoxB1 family of transcription factors.

Molecular mechanisms governing development of the hindbrain choroid plexus and auditory projection: A validation of the seminal observations of Wilhelm His

IBRO Neuroscience Reports, 2022
Studies by His from 1868 to 1904 delineated the critical role of the dorsal roof plate in the development of the hindbrain choroid plexus, and of the rhombic lips in the development of hindbrain auditory centers.

Cryopreserved Human Otic Neuronal Spheroids Self‐assemble for Functional Connectivity Analysis and Long‐term Ototoxicity Evaluation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study establishes a robust and reproducible protocol for generating human otic neuronal spheroids (hONS) from cryopreserved hPSC‐derived pre‐placodal ectoderm cells. These hONS further differentiate into functional SGN‐like neurons, which extend neurite projections toward both murine hair cells and human cortical organoids, thereby forming ...
