Authors Jaime Tobón LM, Moser T Journal eLife Citation eLife 12:RP93749. Abstract Neural diversity can expand the encoding capacity of a circuitry. A striking example of diverse structure and function is presented by the afferent synapses between inner hair cells (IHCs) and spiral ganglion neurons (SGNs) in the cochlea. Presynaptic

Authors Oestreicher D, Chepurwar S, Kusch K, Rankovic V, Jung S, Strenzke N, Pangrsic T Journal BioRxiv Citation bioRxiv 2023.10.16.562475 Abstract To encode continuous sound stimuli, the inner hair cell (IHC) ribbon synapses utilize calcium-binding proteins (CaBPs), which reduce the inactivation of their CaV1.3 calcium channels. Mutations in the CABP2

Authors Mittring A, Moser T, Huet AT Journal Brain Stimulation Citation Brain Stimul. 2023 Jan 23:S1935-861X(23)01673-X. Abstract Optogenetic control of neural activity enables innovative approaches to improve functional restoration of diseased sensory and motor systems. For clinical translation to succeed, optogenetic stimulation needs to closely match the coding properties of
