Calcium signaling in the cochlea – Molecular mechanisms and physiopathological implications

Calcium signaling in the cochlea – Molecular mechanisms and physiopathological implications

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Calcium ions (Ca<sup>2+</sup>) regulate numerous and diverse aspects of cochlear and vestibular physiology. This review focuses on the Ca<sup>2+</sup> control of mechanotransduction and synaptic transmission in sensory hair cells, as well...
