Vestibular afferent neurons develop normally in the absence of quantal/glutamatergic input by Katherine Regalado Núñez, Katherine Regalado Núñez, Daniel Bronson, Daniel Bronson, Ryan Chang, Radha Kalluri, Radha Kalluri, Radha Kalluri

“…Patch-clamp recordings showed that biophysical diversity of vestibular ganglion neurons in the Vglut3-ko mice is comparable to that found in wild-type controls, with a similar range firing patterns at both immature and juvenile ages. However, our results suggest a subtle biophysical alteration to the largest ganglion cells (putative somata of central zone afferents); those in the knockout had smaller net conductance and were more excitable than those in the wild type.DiscussionThus, unlike in the auditory nerve, glutamatergic signaling is unnecessary for producing biophysical diversity in vestibular ganglion neurons. …”
