A Gata3–Mafb transcriptional network directs post-synaptic differentiation in synapses specialized for hearing

Information flow through neural circuits is determined by the nature of the synapses linking the subtypes of neurons. How neurons acquire features distinct to each synapse remains unknown. We show that the transcription factor Mafb drives the formation of auditory ribbon synapses, which are speciali...
