Selective deletion
of cochlear hair cells causes rapid age - dependent changes in spiral ganglion and cochlear nucleus neurons.
The best association was found at chromosome 3 close to the GATA2 gene that regulates the development
of cochlear hair cells and the inferior colliculus (IC) in the auditory pathway.

The device was tested in a guinea pig, with the electrodes attached to both sides
of the rodent's
cochlear hair cell membranes.
Cochlear hair cells normally detect positive deflections
of their
hair bundles, rotating toward their tallest edge, which opens mechanotransducer (MT) channels by increased tension in interciliary tip links.
Cochlear (inner ear) development occurs normally to that point, but the blood supply to the cochlea (the stria vascularis) degenerates, so the
hair cells of the cochlea die.
