Changes in Sef levels influence auditory brainstem development and function.
During development of the CNS, secreted morphogens of the fibroblast growth factor (FGF) family have multiple effects on cell division, migration, and survival depending on where, when, and how much FGF signal is received. The consequences of misregulating the FGF pathway were studied in a mouse with decreased levels of the FGF antagonist Sef. To uncover effects in the nervous system, we focuse...
متن کاملAUDITORY BRAINSTEM RESPONSES (ABR) IN HYPERBILIRUBINEMIC NEWBORNS
To evaluate the changes of ABR values in hyperbilirubinemic newborns, 85 cases with severe jaundice (total bilirubin levels over 16 mg/dL and direct bilirubin less than 2 mg/dL) were selected from those admitted to Children's Medical Center by simple sampling method. These infants had no other problem except jaundice. ABR was taken before treatment in all cases and in some (10 cases) after...
متن کاملGlial Cell Contributions to Auditory Brainstem Development
Glial cells, previously thought to have generally supporting roles in the central nervous system, are emerging as essential contributors to multiple aspects of neuronal circuit function and development. This review focuses on the contributions of glial cells to the development of auditory pathways in the brainstem. These pathways display specialized synapses and an unusually high degree of prec...
متن کاملAltered peripheral and brainstem auditory function in aged rats.
A technique for conducting free-field brainstem auditory evoked potential (BAEP) audiometry in unanesthetized, unrestrained rats revealed a non-recruiting 18 dB elevation of click threshold in aged rats. BAEPs were first recorded in young and aged rats to clicks of equal intensity (80 dB SPL). Compared to the young group, aged animals exhibited longer wave I and wave IV latencies with no differ...
متن کاملDevelopment and Plasticity of Synaptic Function in the Rodent Auditory Brainstem
The calyx of Held synapse is a giant axosomatic synapse that has a fast relay function within the sound localization circuit of the brainstem. In the adult, each principal neuron of the medial nucleus of the trapezoid body (MNTB) is contacted by a single calyx terminal. In rodents, the calyx of Held synapse forms around the third postnatal day (P3). Here we studied the developmental changes in ...
