Molecular Assembly and Structural Plasticity of Sensory Ribbon Synapses—A Presynaptic Perspective

Molecular Assembly and Structural Plasticity of Sensory Ribbon Synapses—A Presynaptic Perspective

In the mammalian cochlea, specialized ribbon-type synapses between sensory inner hair cells (IHCs) and postsynaptic spiral ganglion neurons ensure the temporal precision and indefatigability of synaptic sound encoding. These high-through-put synapses are presynaptically characterized by an electron-...
