Differences in developmental changes in GABAergic response between bushy and stellate cells in the rat anteroventral cochlear nucleus

► The time of developmental shift of GABA action was cell-type specific in the AVCN. ► EGABA was shifted earlier in bushy cells than stellate cells. ► EGABA between bushy and stellate cells was not significantly different during P5-15. ► Vrest of bushy cells was more depolarized than that of stellate cells before P12.
