This study examines how altered medial olivocochlear (MOC) activity affects synaptic structure and function in the auditory brainstem using mouse models.

This study investigates the role of RTN4RL2 in cochlear synapse formation and function, finding that its deletion leads to synaptic abnormalities and hearing impairment in mice.

This study shows that variations in Ca2+ channel activation in inner hair cells affect spiral ganglion neuron firing rates and sound threshold, with implications for noise-induced hearing loss in patients with the CaV1.3A749G mutation.

The paper investigates neuromodulation of the endbulb of Held synapse in the cochlear nucleus, finding that norepinephrine increases miniature excitatory postsynaptic currents while serotonin and evoked transmission are unaffected.
