Prestin and the cholinergic receptor of hair cells: positively-selected proteins in mammals. In vertebrates, the ear develops at the rostral boundary of the somites that form out of mesoderm along the notochord (Cooke, 1978; Chung et al., 1989; Huang et al., 1997). 89, 1–11. Anat. Another distinguishing feature of IEEs is their sometimes extremely widespread distribution of axonal branches that can cover adjacent organ systems such as multiple inner ear sensory epithelia and can be bilateral to both ears (Fritzsch and Wahnschaffe, 1987; Cowan et al., 2000) or even connect both inner ear and lateral line organs (Hellmann and Fritzsch, 1996).

Neither Chrna 9 nor 10 have been identified in lancelet or ascidians. Precraniate origin of cranial motoneurons. Because of its prominence and preserved state in the fossil record, until recently, the ear had been used to determine phylogeny. In order to understand the evolutionary changes that led three canals, the team looked at the only two types of jawless vertebrates that still exist on earth: lampreys and hagfish. Further analysis focused on the Otx1 gene. Dev. In contrast to craniate sensory organs, sensory hair cell precursors of the ear can be traced to chordates and possibly even to the unicellular ancestor of all animals living some 800 million years ago (Fritzsch et al., 2007; Burighel et al., 2011). Biol. Simmons, D., Duncan, J., de Caprona, D. C., and Fritzsch, B. Evol. This was somewhat surprising as its expression was thought to be an advent that led to the evolution of the lateral canal. Evol. Lampreys are thought to have two semicircular canals, while hagfish only have one. (2013). These data, and expression of Nkx5-1 in an evolutionary conserved part of the inner ear, led me to assume that it has a conserved function in ear morphogenesis. Molecular cues enabling efferents to terminate on hair cells possibly evolved before efferents engaged in forming synapses on hair cells to affect the physiology of hair cells. Transcription factor GATA-3 alters pathway selection of olivocochlear neurons and affects morphogenesis of the ear.

All ganglion neurons are glutamatergic with variable additional transmitters and require the bHLH genes Neurog1 and 2 for their development (Ma et al., 2000).

The current study could not determine whether the common crus is something that jawed vertebrates gained or something that was lost in jawless vertebrates. J. Neurobiol. The close proximity and initial molecular similarity of the IEEs to the FBMs (Roberts and Meredith, 1992) and their similarities during development support the hypothesis that IEEs are rerouted FBMs (Fritzsch et al., 1993; Tiveron et al., 2003). Chrna 7, 8, 9, and 10 are recognized in lampreys but their distribution has not been verified experimentally (Smith et al., 2013). doi: 10.1016/0304-3940(89)90385-6. Modified after Ma et al. Like other cholinergic terminals in the peripheral nervous system (PNS), efferent terminals signal on hair cells through nicotinic acetylcholine channels, likely composed out of alpha 9 and alpha 10 units (Chrna9, Chrna10). Only the GG afferents forming the solitary tract remain. α10: a determinant of nicotinic cholinergic receptor function in mammalian vestibular and cochlear mechanosensory hair cells. Pharm. Missing link In contrast to the visual system, the highly divergent original findings on the inner ear efferent (IEE) system (Fritzsch et al., 2016a) soon concentrated on a single theme: efferents to the ear being evolutionary derived from facial branchial motor neurons (FBMs) (Roberts and Meredith, 1992; Sienknecht et al., 2014). U.S.A. 98, 3501–3506. Jawed vertebrates like humans have inner ears with three semicircular canals, which are what allow us to sense our position and stay balanced in the world, and especially to sense 3-D acceleration. Mutant mice bred to lack inner ear afferents through deletion of the basic Helix-Loop-Helix protein Neurog1 have several contralateral IEEs that project into the facial nerve (Figure 2), indicating that IEE preferentially grow along inner ear afferents (Ma et al., 2000) but can grow along FBM axons in the absence of an afferent ear innervation. doi: 10.1523/JNEUROSCI.0124-10.2010, Repérant, J., Médina, M., Ward, R., Miceli, D., Kenigfest, N., Rio, J., et al. doi: 10.1016/j.heares.2014.01.003, Bouchard, M., de Caprona, D., Busslinger, M., Xu, P., and Fritzsch, B. (1997). The evolution of acetylcholine receptor systems that control the outer hair-cell efferent feedback correlates with the evolution of prestins in therians (Elgoyhen and Franchini 2011) and suggests a parallel evolution of control systems, on the one hand, and a motor system, on the other hand, in the mammalian inner ear. Similarly, TMIE (transmembrane inner ear protein) has been described as a component of the mechanosensory transduction channel and can functionally couple tip-links with other elements. Electron microscopical evidence for common inner ear and lateral line efferents in urodeles. They became increasingly smaller and eventually migrated into the ear region, where they became the "hammer" and "anvil" of the ear. Candidate transcription factors are identified that may guide the differential projection and migration of IEEs but more work is needed to support those notions. Transplantation of Xenopus laevis ears reveals the ability to form afferent and efferent connections with the spinal cord. Res. Ears transplanted to the trunk or orbit received “efferent” innervation from spinal or ocular motor neurons, respectively, as shown by cholinergic markers (Elliott and Fritzsch, 2010; Elliott et al., 2013) and vesicle-filled terminals (Elliott and Fritzsch, 2010). In this lecture video we will diagram the evolutionary modifications that occurred in transferring the function of the jaw-joint into the bones of the middle ear used in … The evolution of the mammalian ear is well documented and makes a nice evolutionary story. ScienceDaily, 5 December 2018. (2015). (2010). The development and evolution of the inner ear sensory patches and their innervation is reviewed. Encapsulated within the temporal bone and comprising the smallest elements of the vertebrate skeleton, the ear is key to multiple senses: balance, posture control, gaze stabilization, and hearing. Parasympathetic ganglia derive from Schwann cell precursors. 273, 100–108. Transplantation of Xenopus laevis tissues to determine the ability of motor neurons to acquire a novel target. 3) Among the special cranial senses, the inner ear and the eye are unique in that they receive efferent (centrifugal) innervation.

A correspondent recently asked me about the evolution of the mammalian middle ear in relation to the fossil record. “This paper builds on the premise that the evolution of mammalian inner ear hearing related novelties should leave a discoverable trace of adaptive molecular signature,” said Franchini. Several animal model systems, such as mouse, chicken, medaka and zebrafish, were used to prove this hypothesis. Atoh1-lineal neurons are required for hearing and for the survival of neurons in the spiral ganglion and brainstem accessory auditory nuclei. 52, 207–217. In most vertebrates IEEs segregate at the facial nerve root from FBMs but in mammals this segregation is inside the brainstem (Simmons et al., 2011).

Afferents develop from neural crest or placode-derived sensory neurons of spinal and cranial ganglia (Northcutt, 2005). 2) Efferent (centrifugal) fibers bring information to the PNS. Only a minority of vertebrates have IEEs that remain ipsilateral: lampreys and frogs show an IEE cellular distribution that is closely associated and almost indistinguishable from FBMs (Fritzsch et al., 1989; Hellmann and Fritzsch, 1996) (Figure 1).

In summary, IEE develop initially in close proximity or overlapping with FBMs, share molecular cues with FBMs, but segregate through differential projection of axons outside and inside the brain as well as differential longitudinal and radial migration, including migration and or projection of axon branches across the floor plate. Evolution of chordates (540 million years ago) coincides with the evolution of branchial motor neurons whereas evolution of an ear and inner ear efferents (IEEs) overlaps with the evolution of craniate IEEs (~520 million years ago).

It is noteworthy that FBMs are among the very few motor neurons that show longitudinal migration (Figure 1). Labeling with differently colored tracers show in all instances that IEE and FBM axons overlap in r4 and may even exit together through the facial nerve (Fritzsch et al., 1993; Simmons et al., 2011) before they segregate through differential migration/projection (Müller et al., 2003). Obviously, if FBMs evolved in chordates one would expect that the evolution of nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChR encoded by the Chrna genes) predates chordates.

Efferents develop in vertebrates from basal plate-derived motor neurons and axons project either through ventral roots (somatic and visceral motor neurons of the spinal cord), or dorsal roots (only branchial and visceral motor neurons of the hindbrain). The efferent innervation of the craniate retina is highly variable and appears to reflect the original connection of the diencephalic brain that evolved into the vertebrate retina (Manns and Fritzsch, 1991; Ward et al., 1991; Repérant et al., 2007; Lamb, 2013). Researchers at the RIKEN Center for Biosystems Dynamics (BDR) and collaborators have described for the first time the development of the hagfish inner ear. In addition to the variable longitudinal migration, IEEs have a variable unilateral or bilateral distribution in several vertebrate lineages (Fritzsch, 1999). “Neurotrophic factor function during ear development: expression changes define critical phases for neuronal viability,” in The Primary Auditory Neurons of the Mammalian Cochlea, eds A.
