Authors Bali B, Gruber-Dujardin E, Kusch K, Rankovic V, Moser T Journal Life Science Alliance Citation Life Sci Alliance. 2022 May 5;5(8):e202101338 Abstract AAV-mediated optogenetic neural stimulation has become a clinical approach for restoring function in sensory disorders and feasibility for hearing restoration has been indicated in rodents. Nonetheless, long-term

Authors Calapai A, Cabrera-Moreno J, Moser T, Jeschke M Journal Nature Communications Citation Nat Commun. 2022 Mar 28;13(1):1648. Abstract Devising new and more efficient protocols to analyze the phenotypes of non-human primates, as well as their complex nervous systems, is rapidly becoming of paramount importance. This is because with genome-editing

Authors Grabner CP, Moser T Journal Elife Citation Elife. 2021 Oct 7;10:e63844. Abstract Rod photoreceptors (PRs) use ribbon synapses to transmit visual information. To signal ‘no light detected’ they release glutamate continually to activate post-synaptic receptors. When light is detected glutamate release pauses. How a rod’s individual ribbon enables this

Neurosci. 2021, 41 (37) 7742-7767 Abstract Rab-interacting molecule (RIM)-binding protein 2 (BP2) is a multidomain protein of the presynaptic active zone (AZ). By binding to RIM, bassoon

Authors Oestreicher D, Picher MM, Rankovic V, Moser T, Pangrsic T Journal Frontiers in Molecular Neuroscience Citation Front. Mol. Neurosci. 2021, 14:689415. Abstract Clinical management of auditory synaptopathies like other genetic hearing disorders is currently limited to the use of hearing aids or cochlear implants. However, future gene therapy promises restoration of

Abstract Optogenetic stimulation of spiral ganglion neurons (SGNs) in the ear provides a future alternative to electrical stimulation used in current

Authors Krinner S, Predoehl F, Burfeind D, Vogl C, Moser T Journal Frontiers in Molecular Neuroscience Citation Front. Mol. Neurosci. 14:651935. Abstract The afferent synapses between inner hair cells (IHC) and spiral ganglion neurons are specialized to faithfully encode sound with sub-millisecond precision over prolonged periods of time. Here, we

Abstract Optogenetic stimulation of type I spiral ganglion neurons (SGNs) promises an alternative to the electrical stimulation by current cochlear implants (CIs) for improved hearing restoration by future optical

Authors Wrobel C, Zafeiriou MP, Moser T Journal EBioMedicine Citation EBioMedicine. 2021 Jan 7;63:103171. Abstract Sensorineural hearing impairment is the most frequent form of hearing impairment affecting 1–2 in 1000 newborns and another 1 in 1000 adolescents. More than 50% of congenital hearing impairment is of genetic origin and some
