Preferentially Regulated Expression of Connexin 43 in the Developing Spiral Ganglion Neurons and Afferent Terminals in Post-Natal Rat Cochlea

The expression pattern of connexin 43 (Cx43) in the cochlea is not determined and is controversial. Since the presence of Cx43 is essential for hearing, we re-examined its distribution during post-natal development of rat cochlea. Cx43 protein was expressed in spiral ganglion neurons (SGNs) and thei...
