This study identifies the auditory nerve glial transition zone as a critical site of age-related immune and glial dysfunction contributing to hearing loss.

This study identifies peripheral auditory nerve impairment in a mouse model of MEF2C haploinsufficiency syndrome, linking AN dysfunction to ASD-related behaviors and immune cell involvement.

This study shows that aging leads to increased central gain in the auditory brainstem without improved neural synchrony in mice and humans.

The paper identifies two distinct types of nodes of Ranvier in the mouse auditory nerve and shows their functional roles and changes across development and aging.
