Tackling the Dynamic Range Problem of Hearing: Diverse Hair Cell Synapses Enable Broad Neural Sound Intensity Coding
Authors Jaime Tobón LM, Moser T Journal Cell Reports Citation Cell Rep, 2022. under review. Abstract Synaptic heterogeneity can expand the encoding capacity of individual neurons or sensory cells. The afferent synapses between inner hair cells (IHCs) and spiral ganglion neurons (SGNs) in the cochlea exhibit marked heterogeneity in structure
