The paper shows that high innervation density of cross-reacting transmitters causes non-specific activation of GPCR-based sensors, requiring specific innervation silencing for accurate interpretation.

This study uses optogenetics and electron tomography to analyze the ultrastructure of cochlear inner hair cell ribbon synapses during stimulation, showing increased docked synaptic vesicles and no evidence of homotypic fusion.

The paper investigates how sensory cells encode sound intensity by varying Ca2+ influx-release coupling among presynaptic active zones.
