1. The Human Spiral Ganglion
Abstract : Our knowledge of the fine structure of the Human Spiral Ganglion (HSG) is still inadequate and new treatment techniques for deafness using electric stimulation, call for further information and studies on the neuronal elements of the human cochlea. This thesis presents results of analyses of human cochlear tissue and specimens obtained during neurosurgical transpetrosal removal of life-threatening meningeomas. READ MORE

2. The molecular basis of spiral ganglion neurons : diversity and development
Abstract : Hearing, one of our main senses, allows us to socialize, listen and enjoy sounds around us. The critical transmitters of the sound information are the spiral ganglion neurons (SGNs); located in the cochlea, they transmit the auditory signals from the hair cells to the brain. READ MORE

3. Strategies in Cochlear Nerve Regeneration, Guidance and Protection : Prospects for Future Cochlear Implants
Abstract : Today, it is possible to restore hearing in congenitally deaf children and severely hearing-impaired adults through cochlear implants (CIs). A CI consists of an external sound processor that provides acoustically induced signals to an internal receiver. READ MORE

4. Modulation of the HPA axis alters the sensitivity of the cochlea to acoustic trauma
Abstract : The hypothalamic pituitary adrenal axis (HPA axis) regulates nearly all neuroendocrine responses of the body. An active HPA axis is crucial to maintaining homeostasis. An altered reactivity of the HPA axis can affect several physiological systems including the auditory system. READ MORE

5. Investigating a cell replacement therapy in the inner ear
Abstract : The mammalian auditory system is sensitive to genetic disorders, aging and injuries caused by overstimulation, ototoxic drugs and viral infections. Since the sensory epithelium (the organ of Corti) and the spiral ganglion neurons (SGNs) in adult mammalian do not regenerate spontaneously when they are damaged, a cell substitution strategy was proposed to compensate the function of the degenerated SGNs.
