Abstract：
:It is well known that quality of hearing decreases with increasing age due to changes in the peripheral or central auditory pathway. Along with the decrease in the number of neurons the neurotransmitter profile is also affected in the various parts of the auditory system. Particularly, changes in the inhibitory neurons in the inferior colliculus (IC) are known to affect quality of hearing with aging. To date, there is no information about the status of the inhibitory neurotransmitter GABA in the human IC during aging. We have collected and processed inferior colliculi of persons aged 11-97 years at the time of death for morphometry and immunohistochemical expression of glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD67) and parvalbumin. We used unbiased stereology to estimate the number of cresyl-violet and immunostained neurons. Quantitative real-time PCR was used to measure the relative expression of the GAD67 mRNA. We found that the number of total, GABAergic and PV-positive neurons significantly decreased with increasing age (p < 0.05). The proportion of GAD67-ir neurons to total number of neurons was also negatively associated with increasing age (p = 0.004), but there was no change observed in the proportion of PV-ir neurons relative to GABAergic neurons (p = 0.25). Further, the fold change in the levels of GAD67 mRNA was negatively correlated to age (p = 0.024). We conclude that the poorer quality of hearing with increasing age may be due to decreased expression of inhibitory neurotransmitters and the decline in the number of inhibitory neurons in the IC.

HEARING RESEARCH文献大全abstract：:Healthy guinea pigs were exposed to broad band noise at levels between 95 and 115 dBA for 7 days. A significant decrease of the sound-induced cochlear responses, together with a substantial increase of the endocochlear potential, was observed in guinea pigs exposed to noise at 105 or 115 dBA. Microsamples of the endol...
