Figure 7. Nitric oxide (NO) dependent plasticity.

Figure 7

Prior to the onset of hearing, and following cochlear damage, efferent re-innervation of inner hair cells may be modulated by NO-dependent feedback. This can be driven by calcium influx at efferent or afferent specializations. It will be of interest to determine whether NO can also alter afferent synaptic function.
