The Royal Society

We are grateful for the funding The Royal Society has provided to the hearing research group at the University of Sheffield. 

Some of the recent hearing research lab publications they have supported include:

2020

• Exocytosis in mouse vestibular Type II hair cells shows a high-order Ca ²⁺ dependence that is independent of synaptotagmin-4

2018

• Mechanotransduction is required for establishing and maintaining mature inner hair cells and regulating efferent innervation

2017

• The coupling between Ca²⁺ channels and the exocytotic Ca²⁺ sensor at hair cell ribbon synapses varies tonotopically along the mature cochlea

2015

• Membrane properties specialize mammalian inner hair cells for frequency or intensity encoding.
