This study assessed the contribution of the apical hair cells to hearing. Guinea pigs,
chinchillas and monkeys were behaviorally trained using positive reinforcement to respond …

We present a simple model describing the additivity of hearing loss in the mammalian
cochlea produced by disruption of the outer hair cell transduction processes. The validity of …

This report describes a study that took advantage of the unique reactivity of the patas
monkey (Erythrocebus patas) to dihydrostreptomycin-sulfate (DHSM) to investigate the …

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 …

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 …

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 …

1. Recordings were made from chinchilla auditory nerve fibers after portions of the cochlear
outer hair cell (OHC) population were destroyed with the antibiotic kanamycin. In most cases …

Isolated outer hair cells from the mammalian cochlea exhibit a motile response to electrical
or chemical stimulation. Here we show that isolated outer hair cells can also respond to …

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 …

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 …
