Noise-induced ribbon synapse loss in the mouse basal cochlear region does not reduce inner hair cell exocytosis by David Oestreicher, David Oestreicher, Alfonso Mauro Malpede, Alfonso Mauro Malpede, Annalena Reitmeier, Annalena Reitmeier, Carolin Paula Bräuer, Carolin Paula Bräuer, Laura Schoch, Laura Schoch, Nicola Strenzke, Nicola Strenzke, Tina Pangrsic, Tina Pangrsic, Tina Pangrsic

“…Depolarization-evoked calcium currents in IHCs 2 weeks after exposure were slightly but not significantly smaller as compared to controls from age-matched non-exposed animals. Exocytic changes monitored as changes in membrane capacitance did not follow that trend and remained similar to controls despite significant loss of ribbons, likely reflecting increased exocytosis at the remaining synapses. …”
