Glutamate Signaling in the Auditory Brainstem

摘要: Glutamate signaling in the auditory brainstem is a dynamic process. It involves perfect coordination of pre- and postsynaptic factors that reliably permit transfer information between neurons. When compared to other brain regions, glutamate unique it provides initial mechanisms underlying perception behaviorally relevant communication signals. Disruptions such are thought underlie several hearing-related disorders. Relying on foundation work by Dr. Edwin Rubel colleagues, this chapter offers conceptual overview regulate brainstem, as well determinants responsible for development, activity-dependent regulation, pathophysiology, neuromodulation.
