Dopaminergic Signaling in the Cochlea: Receptor Expression Patterns and Deletion Phenotypes

Pharmacological studies suggest that dopamine release from lateral olivocochlear efferent neurons suppresses spontaneous and sound-evoked activity in cochlear nerve fibers and helps control noise-induced excitotoxicity; however, the literature on cochlear expression and localization of dopamine rece...
