Multisensory integration in the dorsal cochlear nucleus: unit responses to acoustic and trigeminal ganglion stimulation.
A necessary requirement for multisensory integration is the convergence of pathways from different senses. The dorsal cochlear nucleus (DCN) receives auditory input directly via the VIIIth nerve and somatosensory input indirectly from the Vth nerve via granule cells. Multisensory integration may occur in DCN cells that receive both trigeminal and auditory nerve input, such as the fusiform cell....
متن کاملAcoustic Trauma Increases Cochlear and Hair Cell Uptake of Gentamicin
BACKGROUND Exposure to intense sound or high doses of aminoglycoside antibiotics can increase hearing thresholds, induce cochlear dysfunction, disrupt hair cell morphology and promote hair cell death, leading to permanent hearing loss. When the two insults are combined, synergistic ototoxicity occurs, exacerbating cochlear vulnerability to sound exposure. The underlying mechanism of this synerg...
متن کاملNotch Inhibition Induces Cochlear Hair Cell Regeneration and Recovery of Hearing after Acoustic Trauma
Hearing loss due to damage to auditory hair cells is normally irreversible because mammalian hair cells do not regenerate. Here, we show that new hair cells can be induced and can cause partial recovery of hearing in ears damaged by noise trauma, when Notch signaling is inhibited by a γ-secretase inhibitor selected for potency in stimulating hair cell differentiation from inner ear stem cells i...
متن کاملEffect of Neurotrophin-3 on Differentiation of Rat Hair Follicle Stem Cells into Neural Like Cells
Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of NT-3 on the decrease of the differentiation time of bulge stem cells of rat hair follicle from neuron like cells.Materials and Methods: The bulge region of the rat whisker was isolated from and cultured in DMEM/F12 supplemented with epidermal growth factor (EGF) in 3 groups for 7, 8 and 9 days .Then 10 ng/ml NT-3 was added to each gro...
متن کاملFunctional assembly of mammalian cochlear hair cells
Hair cells in the mammalian inner ear convert sound into electrical signals that are relayed to the nervous system by the chemical neurotransmitter glutamate. Electrical information encoding sound is then passed through the central nervous system to the higher auditory centres in the brain, where it is used to construct a temporally and spatially accurate representation of the auditory landscap...
