The Size and Localization of Ribeye and GluR2 in the Auditory Inner Hair Cell Synapse of C57BL/6 Mice Are Affected by Short-Pulse Corticosterone in a Sex-Dependent Manner

<b>Background:</b> Inner hair cell (IHC) ribbon synapses are the initial synapses in the auditory pathway, comprising presynaptic ribbons and postsynaptic glutamate receptors on the peripheral afferent fibers. The excitatory neurotransmitter glutamate primarily signals through AMPA-type...
