Since it became known that the great majority of afferent cochlear neurons are associated
with the in-ner hair cells, and only 5 percent of the neurons in cats," 10 percent in guinea …

The afferent innervation of the outer hair cells consists of a special type of neuron,
distinguished by its characteristic structure and particular degeneration behaviour. The …

The numbers and structure of hair cells; afferent, efferent, and reciprocal synapses as seen
at the base of hair cells; innervation patterns of first order cochlear neurons; and number and …

Three types of afferent fibers innervate the hair cells of the organ of Corti: 1) specific radial
fibers which establish contacts with a very few neighboring internal hair cells; 2) spiral fibers …

Isolated outer hair cells were found to slowly shorten when subjected to a solution that
would induce contraction in a muscle fibre. Two possible mechanisms underlying this …

In this review of cochlear innervation, the differences in the innervation of outer and inner
hair cells are emphasized. Of the afferent neurons, 90 to 95 per cent are large, myelinated …

Study of the anatomy of the cochlea, and in particular the morphology of synaptic
relationships between hair cells and cochlear neurons, is essential for elucidation of the …

Introduc Pion he innervation of the organ of Corti has been the subject of a number of T
excellent papers and recently S tacey R. G ui 1 d and Po rt in an, J r. reported to this …

Outer spiral fibers (OSFs), the afferent innervation of the outer hair cells (OHCs), were
retrogradely labeled following horseradish peroxidase injections into the cat's auditory …
