Mechanics of the mammalian cochlea

L Robles, MA Ruggero - Physiological reviews, 2001 - journals.physiology.org
In mammals, environmental sounds stimulate the auditory receptor, the cochlea, via
vibrations of the stapes, the innermost of the middle ear ossicles. These vibrations produce …

Responses to sound of the basilar membrane of the mammalian cochlea

MA Ruggero - Current opinion in neurobiology, 1992 - Elsevier
Recent evidence shows that the frequency-specific non-linear properties of auditory nerve
and inner hair cell responses to sound, including their sharp frequency tuning, are fully …

Basilar-membrane responses to tones at the base of the chinchilla cochlea

MA Ruggero, NC Rich, A Recio, SS Narayan… - The Journal of the …, 1997 - pubs.aip.org
Basilar-membrane responses to single tones were measured, using laser velocimetry, at a
site of the chinchilla cochlea located 3.5 mm from its basal end. Responses to low-level (< …

Cochlear micromechanics and macromechanics

R Patuzzi - The cochlea, 1996 - Springer
The main task of the mammalian cochlea is to analyze sound in terms of its intensity, timing,
and frequency content. To achieve this, sound in air is “matched” acoustically to the denser …

Basilar-membrane responses to clicks at the base of the chinchilla cochlea

A Recio, NC Rich, SS Narayan… - The Journal of the …, 1998 - pubs.aip.org
Basilar-membrane responses to clicks were measured, using laser velocimetry, at a site of
the chinchilla cochlea located about 3.5 mm from the oval window (characteristic frequency …

Physiology and coding of sound in the auditory nerve

MA Ruggero - The mammalian auditory pathway: Neurophysiology, 1992 - Springer
While this review discusses many aspects of mammalian auditory nerve function, it is not
exhaustive in either breadth or depth of coverage. In particular, the review deals only briefly …

measured directly in response to clicks or obtained indirectly using cross-or reverse …

The mechanical waveform of the basilar membrane. III. Intensity effects

E De Boer, AL Nuttall - The Journal of the Acoustical Society of …, 2000 - pubs.aip.org
Mechanical responses in the basal turn of the guinea-pig cochlea were measured with
broad-band noise stimuli and expressed as input–output cross-correlation functions. The …
