Brevican “nets” voltage-gated calcium channels at the hair cell ribbon synapse
Abstract During hearing in mammals, “sensorineural” inner hair cells convert sound wave-generated mechanical input into electrical activity, resulting in glutamate release onto type I spiral ganglion neurons (SGNs) at specialized synapses known as “ribbon synapses”. New findings published here in BM...
