Funded Activity Summary
Physiological significance of transient receptor potential (TRPC3) ion channels in the cochlea. The project seeks to discover the function of transient receptor potential (TRPC3) ion channels in the cochlea. Recent studies have suggested that these proteins, which are expressed by the sensory and neural cells, are key elements regulating sound transduction and neurotransmission. The new knowledge about the physiological processes underlying hearing that this work will provide, will significantly benefit national and international translational research that seeks to develop systems for controlling the sensitivity of our senses, developing biosensors, interacting with neural networks and developing neural prostheses. International collaborators in this project have enabled development of new models, technology and research training opportunities.Funded Activity Details
