Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the role of Cav1.3 calcium channels in spiral ganglion neurons (SGNs), which connect hair cells to the cochlear nucleus, using Cav1.3-deficient mice.
- Findings show that SGNs express another channel, Cav1.2, when Cav1.3 is absent, leading to decreased firing frequency in SGNs from Cav1.3(-/-) mice compared to wild-type mice.
- The research confirms that the remaining calcium currents in Cav1.3(-/-) neurons are actually from Cav1.2 activity, highlighting the distinct functions of Cav1.2 and Cav1.3 in SGNs.
