Journal ArticleDOI

Development of the Mouse Inner Ear and Origin of Its Sensory Organs

TL;DR: Three sensory organs, the macula utriculi, macula sacculi, and cochlea, seem to arise from a single region of the otocyst, and the anterior and lateral cristae may share a common origin.
Journal ArticleDOI

Activation of TLR2 by a Small Molecule Produced by Staphylococcus epidermidis Increases Antimicrobial Defense against Bacterial Skin Infections

TL;DR: Findings reveal a potential use for normal commensal bacterium S. epidermidis to activate TLR2 signaling and induce antimicrobial peptide expression, thus enabling the skin to mount an enhanced response to pathogens.
Journal ArticleDOI

Hearing sensitivity of the mongolian gerbil, Meriones unguiculatis

TL;DR: Mongolian gerbils were trained to respond to pure tones in a shock‐avoidance task and thresholds derived from psychometric functions were essentially identical to those obtained by the method of limits.
Journal ArticleDOI

Distribution of the P2X2 receptor subunit of the ATP-gated ion channels in the rat central nervous system.

TL;DR: Data support the role for extracellular ATP acting as a fast neurotransmitter at pre‐ and postsynaptic sites in processes such as sensory transmission, sensory‐motor integration, motor and autonomic control, and in neuronal phenomena such as long‐term potentiation (LTP) and depression (LTD).
