A critical period of prehearing spontaneous Ca2+ spiking is required for hair-bundle maintenance in inner hair cells

Adam J. Carlton et al.

Summary: Sensory-independent Ca2+ spiking regulates the development of mammalian sensory systems. In immature cochlea, inner hair cells (IHCs) generate spontaneous Ca2+ action potentials (APs) either intrinsically or through intercellular Ca2+ waves. This study finds that intrinsic Ca2+ APs in IHCs, but not those induced by Ca2+ waves, play a role in the maturation and maintenance of hair bundles. By overexpressing the Kir2.1 potassium channel in IHCs, the study shows that absence of intrinsic Ca2+ APs leads to loss of mechanoelectrical transduction and upregulation of certain pathways related to morphogenesis and signaling in the Kir2.1-OE mice.

2D Ti3C2TxMXene couples electrical stimulation to promote proliferation and neural differentiation of neural stem cells

Rongrong Guo et al.

Summary: Ti3C2Tx MXene nanosheets have shown the potential to regulate the fate of neural stem cells (NSCs) by promoting their proliferation and neural differentiation. NSCs cultured on Ti(3)C(2)T(x)MXene films exhibit enhanced electrical activity and more mature neurons with longer neurites and increased branching. Electrical stimulation applied through the Ti(3)C(2)T(x)MXene film further enhances NSC proliferation. This study expands the potential applications of MXene materials and provides new strategies for stem cell research.

Current approaches to characterize micro- and macroscale circuit mechanisms of Parkinson's disease in rodent models

Yangfan Peng et al.

Summary: Accelerating technological progress in experimental neuroscience has led to increased scale and specificity in observational and perturbational approaches to study circuit physiology. This review introduces classic and novel methods, including electrophysiological recordings, calcium imaging, and specific stimulation techniques, and focuses on their application in rodent models of Parkinson's disease and motor control. By discussing the scope and limitations of each method, the review highlights their potential in understanding pathophysiological mechanisms at cellular and circuit levels and bridging different scales.

Developmental spontaneous activity promotes formation of sensory domains, frequency tuning and proper gain in central auditory circuits

Calvin J. Kersbergen et al.

Summary: Neurons processing sensory information exhibit bursts of electrical activity during development, which play an important role in training circuits for encoding external world features. A study found that suppressing spontaneous activity in the cochlea disrupts burst firing of central auditory neurons without affecting cell survival or hearing thresholds. However, it leads to enhanced acoustic sensitivity and broader frequency tuning in neurons of the inferior colliculus, while reducing tone-responsive regions in the auditory cortex. These findings have important implications for understanding and restoring hearing in individuals with reduced activity during critical stages of development.

3D Ti3C2TX MXene-Matrigel with Electroacoustic Stimulation to Promote the Growth of Spiral Ganglion Neurons

Menghui Liao et al.

Summary: Cochlear implantation is the most effective treatment method for patients with profound and total hearing loss. This study presents an electrical stimulation system combining a cochlear implant and a conductive Ti3C2Tx MXene-matrigel hydrogel, which promotes the growth and signal transmission of spiral ganglion neurons, potentially improving the postoperative listening effect of cochlear implantation.

Yige Li et al.

Summary: In this study, the effects of Ti3C2Tx MXene on the morphological and electrophysiological properties of neural stem cell (NSC)-derived neurons were investigated. The results showed that Ti3C2Tx MXene promotes NSCs differentiation and neurite growth, enhances synaptic transmission between mature neurons.

Kolliker's organ-supporting cells and cochlear auditory development

Jianyong Chen et al.

Summary: The Kolliker's organ is an important structure in the development of mammalian cochlea, playing a crucial role in auditory maturation. The supporting cells in the organ regulate the activity of inner hair cells through ATP release and facilitate normal signal transmission at the synapses. It acts as a key mediator of information transmission and promotes cochlear development.

Purinergic Signaling Controls Spontaneous Activity in the Auditory System throughout Early Development

Travis A. Babola et al.

Summary: Spontaneous bursts of electrical activity in the developing auditory system originate in the cochlea before hearing onset, with ATP release from inner supporting cells activating purinergic autoreceptors and promoting maturation of auditory neurons. Inhibition of P2Y1 purinergic receptors dramatically reduces spontaneous activity in inner hair cells, spiral ganglion neurons, and auditory neurons at all developmental ages. This consistent mechanism involving ATP release and P2Y1 activation elicits coordinated excitation of neurons processing similar frequencies of sound.

Inner hair cell stereocilia are embedded in the tectorial membrane

Pierre Hakizimana et al.

Summary: The study reveals that the stereocilia of inner hair cells (IHCs) are embedded in the tectorial membrane (TM), and structures rich in calcium in TM may facilitate sound transduction. This challenges the traditional view that the stereocilia are not directly connected to the TM and suggests a reevaluation of the mechanism for stimulation in IHCs and the role of TM in hearing.
