Here we have used morphological and physiological techniques to ask whether synaptic mechanisms differ along the tonotopic axis and within IHCs in the mouse cochlea. We show that the number of ribbon synapses per IHC peaks where the cochlea is most sensitive to sound. Exocytosis, measured as membrane capacitance changes, scaled with synapse number when comparing apical and midcochlear IHCs. Synapses were distributed in the subnuclear portion of IHCs. High-resolution imaging of IHC synapses provided insights into presynaptic Ca2+ channel clusters and Ca2+ signals, synaptic ribbons and postsynaptic glutamate receptor clusters and revealed subtle differences in their average properties along the tonotopic axis. However, we observed substantial variability for presynaptic Ca2+ signals, even within individual IHCs, providing a candidate presynaptic mechanism for the divergent dynamics of spiral ganglion neuron spiking."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1038/nn.2293"],["dc.identifier.gro","3143132"],["dc.identifier.isi","000264563100019"],["dc.identifier.pmid","19270686"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/612"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.notes.intern","WoS Import 2017-03-10"],["dc.notes.status","final"],["dc.notes.submitter","PUB_WoS_Import"],["dc.relation.issn","1097-6256"],["dc.title","Tuning of synapse number, structure and function in the cochlea"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","yes"],["dc.type.subtype","original"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

At present, the function of presynaptic ribbons at these synapses is still largely unknown(1,4). Here we show that anchoring of IHC ribbons is impaired in mouse mutants for the presynaptic scaffolding protein Bassoon. The lack of active-zone-anchored synaptic ribbons reduced the presynaptic readily releasable vesicle pool, and impaired synchronous auditory signalling as revealed by recordings of exocytic IHC capacitance changes and sound-evoked activation of spiral ganglion neurons. Both exocytosis of the hair cell releasable vesicle pool and the number of synchronously activated spiral ganglion neurons co-varied with the number of anchored ribbons during development. Interestingly, ribbon-deficient IHCs were still capable of sustained exocytosis with normal Ca2+-dependence. Endocytic membrane retrieval was intact, but an accumulation of tubular and cisternal membrane profiles was observed in ribbon-deficient IHCs. We conclude that ribbon-dependent synchronous release of multiple vesicles at the hair cell afferent synapse is essential for normal hearing."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1038/nature03418"],["dc.identifier.gro","3143866"],["dc.identifier.isi","000228327600039"],["dc.identifier.pmid","15829963"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/1427"],["dc.notes.intern","WoS Import 2017-03-10"],["dc.notes.status","final"],["dc.notes.submitter","PUB_WoS_Import"],["dc.relation.issn","0028-0836"],["dc.title","Hair cell synaptic ribbons are essential for synchronous auditory signalling"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","yes"],["dc.type.subtype","original"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

Spiral ganglion neurons form the afferent innervation of inner hair cells via the hair cell synapse. The structure and function of this ribbon-type synapse is considered to have a major impact on the sound encoding process itself. In this study we have used conventional confocal microscopy as well as super-resolution techniques to investigate the synaptic organization in the inner hair cells of mice. Functionally relevant proteins of the afferent inner hair cell synapse were selectively marked using immunohistochemical methods and investigated with conventional confocal and super-resolution 4Pi- and stimulated emission depletion (STED) techniques. Synapse and innervation density was mapped over the entire tonotopic axis. We found inner hair cells in the region of best hearing to have about twice the number of afferent fibres compared to the apex or base of the cochlea. For the first time 4Pi and STED microscopic techniques were employed to resolve the fine structure of these synapses beyond the resolution of conventional light microscopy. With 4Pi a resolution of approximately 100 nm in the z-axis direction is feasible. In practice STED delivers an effective resolution between 150 and 30 nm, depending on the power of the lasers employed. Synapses at different tonotopic positions of the cochlea exhibit no relevant structural differences at this level of resolution. The 4Pi and STED microscopic techniques are capable of showing the structure of afferent synapses in the organ of Corti with unsurpassed resolution. These images contribute to our understanding of sound-encoding mechanisms in the inner ear."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1007/s00106-011-2457-y"],["dc.identifier.isi","000307294000004"],["dc.identifier.pmid","22767188"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/25836"],["dc.notes.status","zu prüfen"],["dc.notes.submitter","Najko"],["dc.publisher","Springer"],["dc.relation.issn","0017-6192"],["dc.title","Super-resolution optical microscopy of the organ of Corti.

It is not well understood how Ca2+ channel clustering and synaptic vesicle docking are organized. Here, we studied structure and function of hair cell ribbon synapses following genetic disruption of the presynaptic scaffold protein Bassoon. Mutant synapses-mostly lacking the ribbon-showed a reduction in membrane-proximal vesicles, with ribbonless synapses affected more than ribbon-occupied synapses. Ca2+ channels were also fewer at mutant synapses and appeared in abnormally shaped clusters. Ribbon absence reduced Ca2+ channel numbers at mutant and wildtype synapses. Fast and sustained exocytosis was reduced, notwithstanding normal coupling of the remaining Ca2+ channels to exocytosis. In vitro recordings revealed a slight impairment of vesicle replenishment. Mechanistic modeling of the in vivo data independently supported morphological and functional in vitro findings. We conclude that Bassoon and the ribbon (1) create a large number of release sites by organizing Ca2+ channels and vesicles, and (2) promote vesicle replenishment."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1016/j.neuron.2010.10.027"],["dc.identifier.gro","3142827"],["dc.identifier.isi","000285079500011"],["dc.identifier.pmid","21092861"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/274"],["dc.notes.intern","WoS Import 2017-03-10"],["dc.notes.status","final"],["dc.notes.submitter","PUB_WoS_Import"],["dc.publisher","Cell Press"],["dc.relation.issn","0896-6273"],["dc.title","Bassoon and the Synaptic Ribbon Organize Ca2+ Channels and Vesicles to Add Release Sites and Promote Refilling"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","yes"],["dc.type.subtype","original"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]
