Distribution of glial cells in the auditory brainstem: Normal development and effects of unilateral lesion

Highlights • Glial cell populations show diverse maturation patterns in the auditory brainstem. • Astrocytes are found in close apposition to the developing calyx of Held. • Calyces induced by unilateral cochlear lesion show similar astrocyte apposition. • After unilateral lesions new calyces form i...

Description
Summary:Highlights • Glial cell populations show diverse maturation patterns in the auditory brainstem. • Astrocytes are found in close apposition to the developing calyx of Held. • Calyces induced by unilateral cochlear lesion show similar astrocyte apposition. • After unilateral lesions new calyces form in MNTB without changes in glial density.
