Re: Failure of Appropriate Citation by Authors
shighstein{at}MBL.edu Stephen M. Highstein, et al.
We write to point out the omission of the citation of our work,
Holstein, Rabbitt, Martinelli, Friedrich, Boyle, and Highstein (2004) Convergence of excitatory and inhibitory hair cell transmitters shapes vestibular afferent responses, PNAS 101 (44): 15766–15771
in your recent publication,
Pawson, Prestia, Mahoney, Lu, Cox, and Pack (2009) GABAergic/Glutamatergic–Glial/Neuronal Interaction Contributes to Rapid Adaptation in Pacinian Corpuscles, The Journal of Neuroscience, 29(9):2695–2705.
The point of our publication was that GABA and glutamate participate in concert to shape the dynamic responses of primary vestibular afferents. This is exactly the same point now made by Pawson et al. While this mechanism may be novel in regard to Pacinian corpuscles, we are compelled to note that we proposed a very similar mechanism involving the interaction between GABA and glutamate in shaping primary afferent responses in publications as early as 2004.
Thank you,
Gay R. Holstein Giorgio P. Martinelli Victor Friedrich Richard Boyle Richard D. Rabbitt Stephen M. Highstein
