Neural circuit development in the mammalian cochlea.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The organ of Corti, the sensory epithelium of the mammalian auditory system, uses afferent and efferent synapses for encoding auditory signals and top-down modulation of cochlear function. During development, the final precisely ordered sensorineural circuit is established following excessive formation of afferent and efferent synapses and subsequent refinement. Here, we review the development of innervation of the mouse organ of Corti and its regulation.

Nonlinear Dynamics of Cochlear Information Processing
The nonlinear amplification process in the mammalian cochlea gives rise to a variety of phenomena, which manifest as two-tone suppression and combination tone generation. These nonlinear effects show that, besides mere mechanical-to-neural transduction, the cochlea performs significant information processing on a biophysical, pre-neural level. As nonlinear cochlear processing is a precondition ...
متن کاملTherapeutic potential of cell therapy in the repair of hair cells and spiral ganglion neurons: review article
The mammalian cochlea is a highly complex structure which contains several cells, including sensory receptor or hair cells. The main function of the cochlear hair cells is to convert the mechanical vibrations of the sound into electrical signals, then these signals travel to the brain along the auditory nerve. Auditory hair cells in some amphibians, reptiles, fish, and birds can regenerate or r...
متن کاملProposal : Development of a Large Scale Model of the Mammalian Cochlear
This is a proposal to develop a large-scale network model of the mammalian cochlear nucleus. The cochlear nucleus is the first processing center for acoustic information after it is transduced into a neural code within the cochlea. This biologically inspired, ‘neuromorphic’ model is to be developed using transistor-based neurons that implement both the specific ion channels and local neural net...

Nonlinear signal processing is an integral part of sensory transduction in the nervous system. Sensory inputs are analog, continuous-time signals with a large dynamic range, whereas central neurons encode information with limited dynamic range and temporal specificity, using fixed-width, fixed-height pulses. Sensory transduction uses nonlinear signal processing to reduce real-world input to a n...
متن کاملImplementation of a programmable neuron in CNTFET technology for low-power neural networks
Circuit-level implementation of a novel neuron has been discussed in this article. A low-power Activation Function (AF) circuit is introduced in this paper, which is then combined with a highly linear synapse circuit to form the neuron architecture. Designed in Carbon Nanotube Field-Effect Transistor (CNTFET) technology, the proposed structure consumes low power, which makes it suitable for the...
