This paper identifies KLHDC7B as a gene associated with age-related hearing loss in humans and validates its role in hearing maintenance using two mouse models.

This study investigates the role of Neuroplastin in mammalian hearing, showing that only the Np55 isoform is essential for cochlear hair cell function and that its absence interacts genetically with Cdh23 mutations to cause hearing loss.

This study identifies a Vamp2 mutation in mice that causes sleep-wake transition deficits by reducing synaptic release probability.
