Spiral ganglion neurons (SGNs) are usually damaged in sensorineural hearing loss. SGN-derived neural stem cells (NSCs) have been identified and proposed to differentiate into neurons to replace damaged SGNs. However, it remains obscure whether SGN-NSC-derived neurons (ScNs) are electrophysiologicall

Acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and agrin play unique functional roles in the neuromuscular junction (NMJ). AChE is a cholinergic and agrin a synaptogenetic component. In spite of their different functions, they share several common features: their targeting is determined by alternative splicing; unlike

Destruction of the nigrostriatal dopaminergic pathway by the administration of 6-OHDA generates an animal model of Parkinson's disease. The main characteristic of this progressive neurological disorder is the loss of the dopaminergic neurons located in the substantia nigra pars compacta (SNc). Dopam
