The Primary Auditory Neurons of the Mammalian Cochlea

The objective of this volume is to detail the essential role of the spiral ganglion neurons, elucidate and characterize their development, their environment, their electrophysiological characteristics, their connectivity to their targets in the inner ear and the brain, and discuss the potential for their regeneration. A comprehensive review about the spiral ganglion neurons is important for researchers not only in the inner ear field but also in development, neuroscience, biophysics as well as neural networks researchers. The chapters proposed in this book will be authored by leading researchers and the editors have identified at least one senior author for every proposed chapter. The authors have all been contacted by the editors and have already agreed to author a chapter. Below is the prospective outline of the book with key topics to be covered and senior authors. ?
