Pericytes in the adult ear are critical for vascular stability and spiral ganglion neuron health.

Ultrastructural analysis of optogenetically stimulated inner hair cell ribbon synapses reveals normally sized synaptic vesicles and enhanced vesicle docking at the active zone membrane.

Ultrastructural and imaging studies of cochlear ribbon synapses demonstrate cis- and trans-synaptic molecular and structural effects in the absence of the AMPA-type glutamate receptor subunit GluA3 during mouse development in ambient sound levels.

Cells of the mammalian cochlea can be reprogrammed to produce mechanosensory hair cells, but epigenetic changes in the cochlea make this process less efficient with age.

Chronic two-photon calcium imaging, optogenetics, and operant behavioral approaches were leveraged to show that hyperactivity, hyperresponsivity, and hypersynchronization in auditory cortex neural ensembles can account for auditory hypersensitivity following acoustic trauma.

In the cochlea, repressor element 1-silencing transcription factor (REST) regulates the expression levels of K_v7.4 and alterations of REST functions result in progressive hearing loss.

Coil-based CIs have the potential to enhance the quality of restored hearing for people with severe to profound hearing loss.

The Kv3.3 potassium channel subunit is necessary and sufficient to permit presynaptic location and accelerated repolarisation of the presynaptic action potential, thereby conserving resources and enhancing accuracy of timing information on transmission at the calyx of Held excitatory synapse.

In vitro and in vivo physiological analyses reveal that mammalian auditory neuron intrinsic mechanical sensitivity contributes to sound-evoked activity and explains other previously unexplained auditory neuron features.

Ano1 deletion disrupts Ca²⁺ waves within Kölliker’s organ, reduces burst-firing activity and frequency selectivity of auditory brainstem neurons in the medial nucleus of the trapezoid body, and impairs the functional refinement of its projections to the lateral superior olive.
