Cochlear spiral ganglion neurons (SGNs) are bipolar ganglion cells and are the first neurons in the auditory transduction pathway. They transmit complex acoustic information from hair cells to second-order sensory neurons in the cochlear nucleus for sound processing. ⋯ It has been found that NTFs and stem cells can induce regeneration among dead spiral ganglion cells. In this paper, we summarized the present knowledge regarding injury, protection, and regeneration of SGNs.

Associations between parental adherence to healthy lifestyles and cognitive performance in offspring: A prospective cohort study in China.
Previous studies have reported associations of specific maternal and paternal lifestyle factors with offspring's cognitive development during early childhood. This study aimed to investigate the prospective associations between overall parental lifestyle and offspring's cognitive performance during adolescence and young adulthood in China. ⋯ Our study indicates that parental adherence to a healthier lifestyle is associated with significantly better offspring's cognitive performance during adolescence and early adulthood, regardless of socioeconomic status. These findings highlight the potential cognitive benefits of promoting healthy lifestyles among parents of adolescents.
