Kv4, Kv2, and Kv3 currents shape intrinsic lateral olivocochlear excitability independent of hair cell dysfunction during development and ageing
2026-07-03
Abstract excerpt
Intrinsic lateral olivocochlear (iLOC) neurons provide vital brainstem efferent feedback to the cochlea in order to modulate hearing sensitivity through synapses onto type-I spiral ganglion neurons. During ageing or mutations affecting hair cell transduction in mice, efferent neurons rewire to form direct axo-somatic synapses onto inner hair cells (IHCs), recapitulating a synaptic configuration typically only rest...
