Resolution of subcomponents of synaptic release from post-synaptic currents in rat hair-cell/auditory-nerve fiber synapses

bioRxiv, 2020
The synapse between inner hair cells and auditory nerve fiber dendrites shows large EPSCs, which are either monophasic or multiphasic. Multiquantal or uniquantal flickering release have been proposed to underlie the unusual multiphasic waveforms.

Cat‐Vibrissa‐Inspired Biomass Fiber Aerogels for Flexible and Highly Sensitive Sensors in Monitoring Human Sport

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Inspired by cat vibrissae, biomimetic biomass PHFs/SA aerogels (BFAs) are developed via precursor‐assisted in situ polymerization and freeze‐synergistic assembly. These ultralight, porous pressure sensors exhibit high sensitivity and excellent durability, enabling pulse detection, handwriting recognition, Morse code transmission, and notably real‐time ...

Imaging Stereocilia Links in Live Auditory Hair Cells [PDF]

Biophysical Journal, 2012
We previously imaged stereocilia links in glutaraldehyde-fixed mammalian auditory hair cells using hopping probe scanning ion conductance microcopy (HPSICM, Novak et al. Nat Methods, 2009). Due to the complex three-dimensional structure of the stereocilia bundle, achieving high-resolution images required a considerable amount of time (∼44 min/bundle ...

Cellular studies of auditory hair cell regeneration in birds [PDF]

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2000
A decade ago it was discovered that mature birds are able to regenerate hair cells, the receptors for auditory perception. This surprising finding generated hope in the field of auditory neuroscience that new hair cells someday may be coaxed to form in another class of warm-blooded vertebrates, mammals.
