The hair cells in the cochlea are divided into two morphologically distinct populations: a
single row of inner hair cells (IHC) and three or four rows of outer hair cells (OHC). On the …

Until recently the responses of the mechanosensitive hair cells of the cochlea have been
inferred from their morphology, morphological relationships with other structures in the …

Intracellular recordings were made from the low frequency region (third turn) of the guinea
pig cochlea. Response characteristics are compared to gross potentials obtained from the …

The scope of this chapter is to review what is currently known about the workings of the two
types of auditory hair cells in the mammalian cochlea, the inner hair cells (IHCs) and outer …

The mechanical and electrical properties of cochlear outer hair cells (OHCs) are suggested
to modulate transduction by inner hair cells. These properties of OHCs are presumably …

In the last few years, a series of rapid advances has been made in our understanding of
sensory analysis and transduction in the cochlea. Answers to old questions have been …

More than 20 years have elapsed since the discovery of induced and electrically driven
length changes in isolated outer hair cells (OHCs)(Brownell 1984; Brownell et al. 1985). At …

Recordings were made in the low-frequency region (third and fourth turns) of the guinea pig
cochlea from both inner (IHC) and outer (OHC) hair cells. Certain electrical characteristics of …

Publisher Summary Sensory receptor cells in the mammalian cochlea have fully
differentiated into two distinct populations: inner and outer hair cells (IHCs and OHCs). This …

Transduction processes in mammalian inner and outer hair cells are examined, along with
the influence of the basolateral cell membrane upon the receptor potentials. The …
