Cochlear resident macrophage mediates development of ribbon synapses via CX3CR1/CX3CL1 axis

open access: yesFrontiers in Molecular Neuroscience, 2022
Cochlear ribbon synapses formed between spiral ganglion neurons and inner hair cells in postnatal mice must undergo significant morphological and functional development to reach auditory maturation.

Endocytosis at Ribbon Synapses [PDF]

open access: yesTraffic, 2007
Unlike conventional synaptic terminals that release neurotransmitter episodically in response to action potentials, neurons of the visual, auditory and vestibular systems encode sensory information in graded signals that are transmitted at their synapses by modulating the rate of continuous release. The synaptic ribbon, a specialized structure found at

The Role of Ribbons at Sensory Synapses [PDF]

open access: yesThe Neuroscientist, 2009
Synaptic ribbons are organelles that tether vesicles at the presynaptic active zones of sensory neurons in the visual, auditory, and vestibular systems. These neurons generate sustained, graded electrical signals in response to sensory stimuli, and fidelity of transmission therefore requires their synapses to release neurotransmitter continuously at ...

Maturation of Heterogeneity in Afferent Synapse Ultrastructure in the Mouse Cochlea

open access: yesFrontiers in Synaptic Neuroscience, 2021
Auditory nerve fibers (ANFs) innervating the same inner hair cell (IHC) may have identical frequency tuning but different sound response properties. In cat and guinea pig, ANF response properties correlate with afferent synapse morphology and position on

Hair cell ribbon synapses [PDF]

open access: yesCell and Tissue Research, 2006
Hearing and balance rely on the faithful synaptic coding of mechanical input by the auditory and vestibular hair cells of the inner ear. Mechanical deflection of their stereocilia causes the opening of mechanosensitive channels, resulting in hair cell depolarization, which controls the release of glutamate at ribbon-type synapses.

The first synapse in vision in the aging mouse retina

open access: yesFrontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2023
Vision is our primary sense, and maintaining it throughout our lifespan is crucial for our well-being. However, the retina, which initiates vision, suffers from an age-related, irreversible functional decline. What causes this functional decline, and how

Ribbon Synapses and Retinal Disease: Review

open access: yesInternational Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2023
Synaptic ribbons are presynaptic protein complexes that are believed to be important for the transmission of sensory information in the visual system. Ribbons are selectively associated with those synapses where graded changes in membrane potential drive continuous neurotransmitter release.
