The influence of aging, hearing loss and tinnitus on the morphology of cortical grey matter, amygdala and hippocampus.
We studied age-, hearing loss-, and tinnitus-related functional and structural changes in cortical and subcortical structures in subjects with varying degrees of presbycusis and tinnitus using audiological examination and MRI scanning. We found that aging was accompanied by a decrease in cortical gray matter thickness; hearing loss led to limited structural modifications and tinnitus caused structural changes occurring predominantly within the limbic system and insula.
Examples of tinnitus related human brain structures scanned with MRI. (A,B) Color-coded regions of interest on the cortical surface: planum temporale (yellow), Heschl gyrus (light blue), anterior insula (green), visual cortex (purple), parahippocampus (red). (C) Localization of tinnitus related limbic structures: hippocampus (blue) and amygdala (orange).

Cochlear ablation in neonatal rats disrupts inhibitory transmission in the medial nucleus of the trapezoid body.
The removal of the cochlea during early postnatal development significantly affects the composition and density of presynaptic and postsynaptic inhibitory receptors in the medial nucleus of the trapezoidal body (MNTB) in adult rats. The results suggest that inhibitory transmission in the MNTB is subjected to multiple developmental regulations and support the idea that auditory experience plays a role in the maturation of the brainstem glycinergic circuits.
Bilateral cochleotomy of neonatal rats transiently reduced the number of glycine receptors and inhibitory vGAT-positive terminals in the MNTB. A, B, MNTB sections from 2 week- (2WO) or 2 month-old (Adult) control or cochleotomized rats, stained with antibodies against glycine receptor α1 subunit (A) or vGAT (B). The dashed line indicates the cell surface. The middle columns display cells from the boxes on the left at a higher magnification. C, D, Bar graphs compare the number of α1-positive clusters (C) or vGAT-positive terminals (D) at the somata of MNTB principal cells of the control and cochleotomized rats.

Acoustical enrichment during early development improves response reliability in the adult auditory cortex of the rat.
Rearing rat pups in a complex acoustically enriched environment leads to an increased reliability of responses of AC neurons, affecting both the rate and the temporal codes. For a repetitive stimulus, the neurons exhibit a lower spike count variance, indicating a more stable rate coding. Furthermore, the neurons follow more precisely the temporal course of the stimulus, as manifested by improved phase-locking to temporally modulated sounds. The changes are persistent and present up to adulthood.
A. Synchronization of auditory cortex (AC) neuronal responses with amplitude modulated (AM) noise is significantly better in enriched animals than in control rats. B. Better synchronization of neuronal responses to AM noise with 10 Hz modulation frequency is documented in peristimulus time histograms of typical AC neurons recorded from the enriched and control animals.

KCTD hetero-oligomers confer unique kinetic properties on GABAB receptor-induced K+-currents.
We provide evidence that GABAB receptors associate with KCTD subunits which hetero-oligomerize through self-interacting T1 and H1 homology domains. KCTD12/16 hetero-oligomers impart unique kinetic properties on GABAB activated Kir3-currents. Our data demonstrate that simultaneous assembly of distinct KCTDs at the receptor increases the molecular and functional repertoire of native GABAB receptors and modulates physiologically induced K+-current responses in the nervous system.

B, GABAB responses recorded from CHO cells expressing KCTD12 (black), a KCTD16 mutant lacking the GABAB-binding T1 domain (blue), or both KCTD isoforms (red). C, Bar graph summarizing the relative desensitization of baclofen-activated K+ currents. D, Representative traces of K+ currents activated by baclofen to CHO cells expressing no KCTD (gray), KCTD12 alone (black), 16ΔT1 alone (blue), or both KCTDs (red). KCTD16 prolongs the deactivation of GABAB responses. KCTD12 neither reduces the effect of 16ΔT1 nor accelerates deactivation of brief current responses. E, Bar graph shows mean time constants obtained from fits of current deactivation to a single exponential function.

1. Changes in the activity of auditory cortical inhibitory interneurons after acoustic trauma were cell type- and layer-specific
Single-unit electrophysiological recording and two-photon calcium imaging in anaesthetized mice were used to evaluate the effects of acute acoustic trauma on the response properties of neurons in the core auditory cortex. The results demonstrate cell type- and layer-specific changes. The observed changes could play a role in pathogenesis of tinnitus.

2. Processing of aversive 22-kHz rat‘s call differ in individual brain structures
The responses to aversive 22-kHz vocalization was evaluated by c-Fos mmunolabelling in different brain structures. The natural 22-kHz vocalizations was either played from a recording or produced by a foot-shocked animal located nearby (live vocalizations) or the artificial call-like stimuli was used. The natural 22-kHz vocalizations evoked larger response in auditory and limbic structures, whereas artificial call-like stimuli was less efficient in limbic structures.

1. Age-related changes in hearing
Based on the MRI recordings from auditory cortex, it seems that peripheral as well as central components of presbycusis appear to influence each other only to a limited degree. The greater extent of cortical activation in elderly subjects in comparison with young subjects, with an asymmetry towards the right side, may serve as a compensatory mechanism for the impaired processing of auditory information appearing as a consequence of ageing.

2. Deterioration of the Medial Olivocochlear Efferent System Accelerates Age-Related Hearing Loss in Pax2-Isl1 Transgenic Mice
Overexpression of transcription factor ISLET1 under the Pax2 promoter in mice manifested in hyperactivity, circling behavior, and early onset of progressive age-related hearing loss. Early age related reduction of otoacoustic emissions (DPOAEs) was found to be conditioned by deterioration of cochlear efferent terminals. Our data provide the first evidence that the alternation of MOC efferent system accelerates the age-related functional decline of hearing without the loss of OHCs.

3. Differential modulation of GABAB receptor-induced K+ currents by endogenous KCTD proteins
GABAB receptors are the G-protein coupled receptors for the main inhibitory neurotransmitter in the brain, γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA). GABAB receptors regulate the excitability of most neurons in the central nervous system by modulating the activity of enzymes and ion channels. GABAB receptors associate with homo-oligomers of auxiliary KCTD 8, 12, 12b and 16 subunits that differentially regulate the receptor response by directly binding to the G-protein. We have shown distinct regulatory effects on G-protein signaling exerted by KCTD12 and 16 and provided evidence that GABAB/KCTD16 complexes regulate the kinetics of late inhibitory postsynaptic currents in hippocampal neurons. In summary, our data demonstrate that simultaneous assembly of distinct KCTDs at the receptor increases the molecular complexity of native GABAB receptors.

A, GABAB receptor subunit compositions in neurons. The principal subunits of GABAB receptors - GABAB1 (black) and GABAB2 (white) - have the prototypical seven transmembrane domains of G protein-coupled receptors. GABAB2 associates with auxiliary KCTD12 (red) or 16 (blue) subunits. B, Altered GABAB receptor responses in neurons with deleted KCTD proteins. Representative traces of GABAB agonist baclofen-evoked K+ currents recorded from cultured hippocampal neurons of WT (black), KCTD16 (red) or KCTD12 (blue) knockout mice. Deletion of KCTD12 reduces desensitization of the responses while deletion of KCTD16 leads to slightly elevated desensitization due to higher occupancy of the receptor by KCTD12. C, Superimposed traces show K+ currents evoked by 1 s-long application of baclofen to cultured hippocampal neurons isolated from WT, KCTD12 KO or KCTD16 KO mice. Bar graph summarizes the time constants obtained from a fit of the deactivation decay to a single exponential function. Note that the decay time course of the currents was significantly reduced in KCTD16 KO and unchanged in KCTD12 KO neurons, compared to WT. D, Examples of inhibitory postsynaptic currents (IPSCs) recorded from CA1 hippocampal neurons of WT or KCTD16 KO mice. Note faster decay kinetics of the currents obtained from KCTD16 KO neurons.

1. Age-related changes in hearing
Hearing thresholds were examined using pure-tone audiometry over the extended frequency range 0.125–16 kHz in a large sample of men and women aged 16–70 years The results could be used to normalize hearing thresholds when comparing participants differing in age and to prepare an international standard. Magnetic resonance morphometry was used to study the state of the central auditory system in a group of elderly subjects with different degree of presbycusis. The results demonstrate significant atrophy in the auditory cortex of elderly subjects.

2. Acoustical enrichment during early postnatal development in rats improves response properties of hearing function
The study explores the effects of an acoustically enriched environment applied during the critical period of development on the responsiveness of auditory neurons in rats resulting in lower excitatory thresholds at neuronal characteristic frequency, an increased frequency selectivity, larger response magnitudes, steeper rate-intensity functions and an increased spontaneous activity. Acoustically enriched environment may permanently affect signal processing in the subcortical auditory nuclei.

3. Molecular mechanism of GABAB receptor desensitization
We studied mechanisms of KCTD12-induced desensitization of GABAB receptor activated K+ currents. We show that the desensitization results from a dual interaction of KCTD12 with the G protein: constitutive binding stabilizes the heterotrimeric G protein at the receptor, whereas dynamic binding to the receptor-activated Gbg subunits induces desensitization by uncoupling Gbg from the effector K+ channel. Our results show that GABAB receptors are endowed with fast and reversible desensitization by harnessing KCTD12 that intercepts Gbg signaling.
Molecular mechanism of KCTD12-induced desensitization of GABAB responses.
A, Scheme illustrates the patch-clamp recording of membrane currents mediated by G-protein activated inwardly rectifying K+ channels (GIRK) from CHO cells. B, Representative traces of K+ currents activated by GABAB agonist baclofen in CHO cells expressing GABAB receptors and GIRK channels either with or without (w/o) KCTD12. KCTD12 induces pronounced and rapid desensitization of the K+ currents. C, Scheme illustrating a mechanism for fast desensitization of GABAB-activated GIRK currents. Resting (left), active (middle), and desensitized (right) states of the current response are shown. KCTD12 constitutively assembles with GABAB receptors and the G-protein into a signaling complex (inactive state). Constitutive binding of KCTD12 to activated Gβγ allows for a transient activation of GIRK channels (active state). An activity-dependent rearrangement of KCTD12 at Gβγ leads to a shielding of the GIRK-binding site on Gβγ by KCTD12 and induces current desensitization (desensitized state).
