Optimization of experimental procedures for the assessment of auditory cognition in non human primates
(2024-02-23)In a loose sense, the exceptional development of technology in the past three decades has allowed researchers to drastically improve the quality and quantity of behavioral data. However, the methodological advances achieved ... -
Optogenetic Manipulation of the Auditory System
(2021-12-14)There are millions of people who are affected from sensorineural hearing loss. In this type of deafness, sensory hair cells are typically dysfunctional or lost, and thereby not conveying sound information to brain. The ... -
Development and Application of Tools for the Characterization of the Optogenetics Stimulation of the Cochlea
(2020-07-17)Five per cent of the world population suffers nowadays from some kind of disabling hearing impairment, and 90% out of them is due to a defective functioning of the first step in the transduction of the soundwave into a ... -
Molecular and structural investigation of assembly, maturation and heterogeneity of inner hair cell ribbon synapses
(2019-10-07)Age-related hearing and balance impairments represent the most common sensory deficits in humans. Both senses rely on hair cell ribbon synapses, which are highly specialized to sustain continuous release of neurotransmitter ... -
Dissecting synaptic mechanisms of sound encoding in the mouse cochlea
(2019-05-23)Cochlear inner hair cells (IHCs) are the genuine sensory receptors that translate sound-borne cochlear vibrations into neuronal signals via ribbon synapses with the spiral ganglion neurons (SGNs). The precise mechanisms ... -
The role of the presynaptic scaffold protein Bassoon in synaptic transmission at the mouse endbulb of Held synapse
(2013-06-20)Endbulbs of Held are large calyceal presynaptic terminals of auditory nerve fibers driving bushy cells in the AVCN. These synapses transmit precisely timed auditory signals up to high frequencies that provide the basis for ...
