Peripheral hearing loss is typically categorized as conductive (caused by impairment of the outer or middle ear) or sensorineural (caused by dysfunction in the cochlea or spiral ganglion).

Cochlear implant electrodes are placed in the fluid-filled scala tympani of the cochlea, at a significant distance from the spiral ganglion and even from the spiral ganglion dendrites. Stimulation ...

Glutamate released at ribbon synapses activates receptors on spiral ganglion neurons, which extend axons into the auditory brain stem. Ribbon synapses are critical for hearing function ...

Elizabeth Ketchum’s poster titled "GATA3 and NEUROD1 Regulate the Projection of Spiral Ganglion Neurons from the Cochlea to the Cochlear Nucleus" looks at how the afferent neurons of the inner ear ...

Several proteins were observed within the spiral ganglion, which contains the neuronal cell bodies that innervate the hair cells in the organ of Corti and carry neuronal impulses to the brain via ...

These are confocal images of spiral ganglion neurites co-cultured with neurotrophin-producing fibroblasts. As above, neurites were immunostained for neurofilament 200 (Texas Red) and FITC ...
