Persistence of vestibular function in the absence of glutamatergic transmission from hair cells

Mohona Mukhopadhyay, Ruchi Modgekar, Aizhen Yang-Hood, Kevin K. Ohlemiller, Valentin Militchin, Maolei Xiao, Zhijun Shen, Nicholas R. Rensing, Michael Wong, Suh Jin Lee, Rebecca P. Seal, Joseph C. Holt, Mark E. Warchol, Susan E. Maloney, Carla M. Yuede, , Tina Pangršič

This study shows that vestibular function remains normal in Vglut3-/- mice despite severe reduction in glutamatergic synaptic transmission, suggesting non-quantal transmission compensates for the loss.

Krishna V. Melnattur, Leonie Kirszenblat, Ellen P. Morgan, Valentin Militchin, Blake Sakran, Denis English, Rushi Patel, Dorothy Chan, Bruno van Swinderen, Paul J. Shaw

This study shows that sleep supports spatial learning in Drosophila, with sleep loss and aging impairing learning, which can be reversed by enhancing sleep.
