This volume details the essential role of the spiral ganglion neurons. The volume elucidates
and characterizes their development their environment their electrophysiological
characteristics their connectivity to their targets in the inner ear and the brain and
discusses the potential for their regeneration. A comprehensive review about the spiral
ganglion neurons is important for researchers not only in the inner ear field but also in
development neuroscience biophysics as well as neural networks researchers. The chapters are
authored by leading researchers in the field.
