Abstract Quantal synaptic transmission in vestibular endorgans is glutamatergic. Here, we investigated the vestibular phenotype of deaf Vglut3−/− (Slc17a8−/−) mice from the cellular to behavioral levels. In Vglut3−/− mice, quantal synaptic transmission in utricular calyces was reduced in rate and amplitude by > 95%.

Abstract Autosomal dominant mutations in FGF14, which encodes intracellular fibroblast growth factor 14 (iFGF14), underlie spinocerebellar ataxia type 27A (SCA27A), a devastating multisystem disorder resulting in progressive deficits in motor coordination and cognitive function.
