Macromolecular and electrical coupling between inner hair cells in the rodent cochlea

Macromolecular and electrical coupling between inner hair cells in the rodent cochlea

The inner hair cells (IHCs) within the cochlea convey sound information and have been thought to be electrically and metabolically independent from each other. Here authors report that a subset of IHCs are electrochemically coupled in ‘mini-syncytia’.
