Journal ArticleDOI

α-Klotho as a Regulator of Calcium Homeostasis

TL;DR: Fundamental roles of α-Kl in the regulation of calcium metabolism are revealed and the increased Na+ gradient created by Na+,K+-ATPase activity might drive the transepithelial transport of Ca2+ in cooperation with ion channels and transporters in the choroid plexus and the kidney.
Journal ArticleDOI

Expression of glutamate and inhibitory amino acid vesicular transporters in the rodent auditory brainstem.

TL;DR: In situ hybridization shows that the expression of the VGLUT1/2 and VIAAT genes can identify different subsets of auditory neurons, which may facilitate the identification of different components in auditory circuits.
Journal ArticleDOI

Two Classes of GABAergic Neurons in the Inferior Colliculus

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that there are two types of GABAergic neurons in the inferior colliculus: larger neurons with VGLUT2+ axosomatic endings and smaller neurons without such endings, which are defined by different synaptic organization and neuronal connections.
Journal ArticleDOI

Origins of Glutamatergic Terminals in the Inferior Colliculus Identified by Retrograde Transport and Expression of VGLUT1 and VGLUT2 Genes

TL;DR: The data suggest that the most likely sources of VGLUT2 terminals in the IC are the intermediate nucleus of the lateral lemniscus, the dorsal cochlear nucleus, the medial and lateral superior olive, and the IC itself.
Journal ArticleDOI

The basic circuit of the IC: tectothalamic neurons with different patterns of synaptic organization send different messages to the thalamus.

TL;DR: The basic circuit of the IC and the LG neurons, particularly the large GABAergic (LG) neurons in particular, has implications for the transmission of information about sound through the midbrain to the MGB.
