I am very pleased to have this work finally published! This is the first of several papers summarizing our collaborative work on development of mini-gene therapy for Usher syndrome type 1F, joining forces with the Corey and Sotomayor laboratories!

Aravind Govindaraju's paper in PNAS models how non-quantal transmission arises from the unusual morphology and ion channel complements at the vestibular hair cell synapse
A new study uncovers how a unique, fast synapse keeps us from falling. This paves the way for research that could improve treatments for vertigo and balance disorders that affect as many as one in three Americans over the age of 40. https://t.co/2Qg32WNHfG
Great to catch up with my former MD/PhD student Imran Quraishi, now on the faculty at @YaleMed at #SfN2022 and our collaborator Ruth Anne @EatockLab. Stay tuned for an exciting paper on synaptic transmission in vestibular hair cells Imran initiated. @SfNtweets@Rice_BIOE
Excited to continue my scientific journey at the Washington University in St. Louis! @WUSTLneurosci
Opening this September, our lab will study how brain circuits organize incoming sensory information into meaningful collections of objects and background.

"Through vibrations, people can also identify differences in timbre, a quality that shapes the 'color' of sound we hear." << All super cool! From: How the #Brain Allows the #Deaf to Experience #Music https://t.co/dQpTRASJzC via @HearingTracker@DameEvelyn@NautilusMag

Was disappointed that @AROMWM is virtual this year but happy that my grad student @acgsci nailed his talk on the mechanism of non-quantal transmission in vestibular hair cells. Great collaboration with @EatockLab. Nutshell: Extracellular electric potentials matter!
