Stem-cell therapy for hearing loss: are we there yet?

Brazilian Journal of Otorhinolaryngology, 2019
Introduction: Mammalian hair cells and auditory neurons do not show regenerative capacity. Hence, damage to these cell types is permanent and leads to hearing loss. However, there is no treatment that re-establishes auditory function.

Developmental synaptic changes at the transient olivocochlear-inner hair cell synapse [PDF]

, 2019
In the mature mammalian cochlea, inner hair cells (IHCs) are mainly innervated by afferent fibers that convey sound information to the CNS. During postnatal development, however, medial olivocochlear (MOC) efferent fibers transiently innervate the IHCs ...

Acoustically evoked potentials in two cephalopods inferred using the auditory brainstem response (ABR) approach [PDF]

, 2009
It is still a matter of debate whether cephalopods can detect sound frequencies above 400 Hz. So far there is no proof for the detection of underwater sound above 400 Hz via a physiological approach.

Functional anatomy of the middle and inner ears of the red fox, in comparison to domestic dogs and cats

, 2020
Anatomical middle and inner ear parameters are often used to predict hearing sensitivities of mammalian species. Given that ear morphology is substantially affected both by phylogeny and body size, it is interesting to consider whether the relatively ...

Spiking Pattern of the Mouse Developing Inner Hair Cells Is Mostly Invariant Along the Tonotopic Axis

Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2018
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 ...

Gene expression analysis of forskolin treated basilar papillae identifies microRNA181a as a mediator of proliferation. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2010
Auditory hair cells spontaneously regenerate following injury in birds but not mammals. A better understanding of the molecular events underlying hair cell regeneration in birds may allow for identification and eventually manipulation of relevant ...

Evidence of Cnidarians sensitivity to sound after exposure to low frequency underwater sources [PDF]

, 2016
Jellyfishes represent a group of species that play an important role in oceans, particularly as a food source for different taxa and as a predator of fish larvae and planktonic prey.

NAVIS: Neuromorphic Auditory VISualizer Tool [PDF]

, 2017
This software presents diverse utilities to perform the first post-processing layer taking the neuromorphic auditory sensors (NAS) information. The used NAS implements in FPGA a cascade filters architecture, imitating the behavior of the basilar membrane
