The paper identifies ethanol-enhanced presynaptic shunting inhibition at the first central auditory synapse as a mechanism for alcohol-induced auditory dysfunction.

The paper investigates the role of CaV2.1 calcium-dependent facilitation in auditory synaptic transmission, finding that its absence reduces synaptic reliability and precision.

The paper investigates how synaptic input variation in cochlear nucleus neurons affects sound encoding, finding that increased variation enhances rate coding but reduces temporal precision.

This study shows that presynaptic Rac1 regulates synaptic strength by controlling synaptic vesicle priming and release probability in mouse calyx of Held synapses.

The paper develops a statistical model to disentangle synaptic and non-synaptic effects on spike transmission using pre- and postsynaptic spiking data from in vivo recordings.

The paper measures mitochondrial volume changes in calyx of Held synapses during development and finds increased mitochondrial volumes from postnatal day 7 to 21.
