Autophagy-Mediated Synaptic Refinement and Auditory Neural Pruning Contribute to Ribbon Synaptic Maturity in the Developing Cochlea
In rodents, massive initial synapses are formed in the auditory peripheral nervous system at the early postnatal stage, and one of the major phenomena is that the number of afferent synapses in the cochlea is significantly reduced in the duration of development. This raises the hypothesis that the n...
