Increased vulnerability to noise exposure of low spontaneous rate type 1C spiral ganglion neuron synapses with inner hair cells
{{output}}
The inner hair cells (IHCs) in the inner ear form synapses with auditory nerve fibers (ANFs) that send sound signals to the brain. ANFs have been grouped by their level of spontaneous firing rates (SRs) into high-, medium-, and low-SR ANFs. Based on their mole... ...
