The paper shows that in the auditory system, EAATs rapidly remove glutamate to enable stimulus intensity coding in T-stellate cells, unlike their typical role in maintaining background glutamate levels.

The paper identifies molecular logic underlying cellular specializations in the cochlear nuclear complex using single-nucleus RNA sequencing and Patch-seq.

This study identifies NALCN as an excitatory leak channel modulated by α2-adrenergic and GABAB receptors to regulate spontaneous activity and synaptic strength in auditory neurons.

The paper identifies a new inhibitory neuron class, L-Stellate cells, in the ventral cochlear nucleus using transgenic mice and imaging techniques, showing their distinct morphology and functional role in auditory processing.
