Triboelectric Tactile Transducers for Neuromorphic Sensing and Synaptic Emulation: Materials, Architectures, and Interfaces

Advanced Energy and Sustainability Research, EarlyView.
Triboelectric nanogenerators are vital for sustainable energy in future technologies such as wearables, implants, AI, ML, sensors and medical systems. This review highlights improved TENG neuromorphic devices with higher energy output, better stability, reduced power demands, scalable designs and lower costs.

Chronic Low-Level Lead Exposure Causes Auditory Impairment and Accelerates the Progression of Age-Related Hearing Loss in C57BL/6J Mice. [PDF]

Aging Cell
Chronic low‐concentration lead exposure accelerates the development of ARHL. Lead exposure mediates damage to cochlear sensory cells via the mitochondrial protease LONP1, leading to irreversible hearing loss. ABSTRACT Heavy metal ion exposure has become a global public health concern.

Genotypes and Phenotypes of Patients With TSPEAR‐Related Disorder: Evidence of a Predominant Dental Phenotype

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT TSPEAR (chr. 21q22.3) encodes a protein involved in tooth development and is predominantly expressed in the enamel knot. Biallelic loss of function variants in TSPEAR cause ectodermal dysplasia, tooth agenesis and sensorineural hearing loss. However, the role of TSPEAR in auditory processes is unclear.

Integration of Tmc1/2 into the mechanotransduction complex in zebrafish hair cells is regulated by Transmembrane O-methyltransferase (Tomt)

eLife, 2017
Transmembrane O-methyltransferase (TOMT/LRTOMT) is responsible for non-syndromic deafness DFNB63. However, the specific defects that lead to hearing loss have not been described. Using a zebrafish model of DFNB63, we show that the auditory and vestibular

Differential roles of EA‐TRAPed cells in the anterior cingulate cortex across various intervention times in inflammatory pain

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
The cumulative effect of EA analgesia is partially attributed to the activation of EA‐TRAPed cells in ACC. Multiple EA sessions and single EA sessions activated different neuronal populations in the ACC. The enhanced analgesic effect of multiple EA sessions may be attributed to an increase in the proportion of GABAergic neurons within the ACC. Abstract

Calcium action potentials in hair cells pattern auditory neuron activity before hearing onset

Nature Neuroscience, 2010
We found rat central auditory neurons to fire action potentials in a precise sequence of mini-bursts before the age of hearing onset. This stereotyped pattern was initiated by hair cells in the cochlea, which trigger brief bursts of action potentials in ...

Early synapsids neurosensory diversity revealed by CT and synchrotron scanning

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Non‐mammaliaform synapsids (NMS) represent the closest relatives of today's mammals among the early amniotes. Exploring their brain and nervous system is key to understanding how mammals evolved. Here, using CT and Synchrotron scanning, we document for the first time three extreme cases of neurosensory and behavioral adaptations that probe ...

Intraspecific variation of cochlear morphology in bowhead and beluga whales

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The bony labyrinth of the petrosal bone, a distinctive feature of mammal skulls, is often identified in micro‐computed tomography imaging to infer species' physiological and ecological traits. When done as part of a comparative study, one individual specimen is normally considered representative of a species, and intraspecific variation is ...

Striatin Is Required for Hearing and Affects Inner Hair Cells and Ribbon Synapses

Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2020
Striatin, a subunit of the serine/threonine phosphatase PP2A, is a core member of the conserved striatin-interacting phosphatase and kinase (STRIPAK) complexes. The protein is expressed in the cell junctions between epithelial cells, which play a role in
