A regional ultrastructural analysis of the cellular and synaptic architecture in the chinchilla cristae ampullaresA Lysakowski
Department of Anatomy and Cell Biology, University of Illinois, Chicago 60612, USA
J Comp Neurol 389:419-43. 1997..An especially differentiated subzone may exist in the middle of the central zone...
Peripherin immunoreactivity labels small diameter vestibular 'bouton' afferents in rodentsA Lysakowski
Department of Anatomy and Cell Biology, University of Illinois at Chicago, 60612, USA
Hear Res 133:149-54. 1999..Finally, we conclude that all labelled axons and terminals were vestibular afferents rather than efferents, as no immunoreactivity in the vestibular efferent nucleus of the brainstem was observed...- Nitric oxide synthase localized in a subpopulation of vestibular efferents with NADPH diaphorase histochemistry and nitric oxide synthase immunohistochemistryA Lysakowski
Department of Anatomy and Cell Biology, University of Illinois College of Medicine, Chicago, Illinois 60612, USA
J Comp Neurol 427:508-21. 2000..A hypothesis about how nitric oxide is produced in the vestibular periphery and how it may interact with other elements in the vestibular sensory apparatus is presented in the discussion... - Molecular microdomains in a sensory terminal, the vestibular calyx endingAnna Lysakowski
Department of Anatomy and Cell Biology, University of Illinois at Chicago, Chicago, Illinois 60612, USA
J Neurosci 31:10101-14. 2011..Differences in the expression and localization of proteins between afferent types and zones may contribute to known variations in afferent physiology... - Ultrastructural analysis of the cristae ampullares in the squirrel monkey (Saimiri sciureus)Anna Lysakowski
Department of Anatomy and Cell Biology, University of Illinois at Chicago, Illinois 60612, USA
J Comp Neurol 511:47-64. 2008..Unlike cristae, type II HCs predominate in monkey maculae. Differences in hair-cell counts may reflect the stimulus magnitudes handled by semicircular canals and otolith organs... - Striated organelle, a cytoskeletal structure positioned to modulate hair-cell transductionFlorin Vranceanu
Department of Anatomy and Cell Biology, University of Illinois, Chicago, IL 60612, USA
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 109:4473-8. 2012.... - Mechanisms of efferent-mediated responses in the turtle posterior cristaJoseph C Holt
Department of Neurobiology, Pharmacology, and Physiology, University of Chicago, Chicago, Illinois 60637, USA
J Neurosci 26:13180-93. 2006..Ultrastructural studies, besides confirming the efferent innervation of type II hair cells and calyx endings, show that turtle efferents commonly contact afferent boutons terminating on type II hair cells... - Quantal and nonquantal transmission in calyx-bearing fibers of the turtle posterior cristaJoseph C Holt
Department of Otolaryngology, University of Texas Medical Branch, Galveston, Texas, USA
J Neurophysiol 98:1083-101. 2007..An ultrastructural study shows that inner-face inputs from type I hair cells outnumber outer-face inputs from type II hair cells by an almost 6:1 ratio... - Alpha-9 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor immunoreactivity in the rodent vestibular labyrinthAnne E Luebke
Department of Biomedical Engineering, University of Rochester School of Medicine, Rochester, New York 14642, USA
J Comp Neurol 492:323-33. 2005..This latter response could be due to one of the other nicotinic receptors that have been described in studies from other laboratories... - M-like K+ currents in type I hair cells and calyx afferent endings of the developing rat utricleKaren M Hurley

J Neurosci 26:10253-69. 2006..Calyx endings were strongly labeled by KCNQ4 and erg1 antisera. Thus, both hair cells and calyx endings have large M-like K+ conductances with the potential to control the gain of transmission... - Comparative morphology of rodent vestibular periphery. II. Cristae ampullaresSapan S Desai
U IL, Chicago
J Neurophysiol 93:267-80. 2005..Apart from this eminentia cruciatum, there are no statistical differences between horizontal and vertical cristae with regard to area, width, length, the number and type of hair cells, and number of calretinin-labeled calyx afferents... - Comparative morphology of rodent vestibular periphery. I. Saccular and utricular maculaeSapan S Desai
U IL, Chicago
J Neurophysiol 93:251-66. 2005..The function holds for species with body weights less than approximately 4 kg. Greater than 4 kg, the surface area of the sensory epithelia remains constant even with increasing body weight... - Hair cell ribbon synapsesTobias Moser
Department of Otolaryngology and Center for Molecular Physiology of the Brain, University of Gottingen, Robert Koch Strasse 40, 37075 Gottingen, Germany
Cell Tissue Res 326:347-59. 2006..Here, we briefly review synaptic morphology and connectivity and then focus on stimulus-secretion coupling at hair cell synapses...
