Minimal basilar membrane motion in low-frequency hearing. [PDF]
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A, 2016 Low-frequency hearing is critically important for speech and music perception, but no mechanical measurements have previously been available from inner ears with intact low-frequency parts. These regions of the cochlea may function in ways different from

The reticular lamina and basilar membrane vibrations in the transverse direction in the basal turn of the living gerbil cochlea [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2022 The prevailing theory of cochlear function states that outer hair cells amplify sound-induced vibration to improve hearing sensitivity and frequency specificity.

Timing of the reticular lamina and basilar membrane vibration in living gerbil cochleae [PDF]
eLife, 2018 Auditory sensory outer hair cells are thought to amplify sound-induced basilar membrane vibration through a feedback mechanism to enhance hearing sensitivity. For optimal amplification, the outer hair cell-generated force must act on the basilar membrane

Measuring traveling wave velocity in the basilar membrane as a potential indicator of endolymphatic hydrops in definite Ménière’s disease: a narrative review [PDF]
Frontiers in NeurologyBackgroundThe pathological hallmark of Ménière’s disease is endolymphatic hydrops, which can lead to an increase in basilar membrane stiffness and, consequently, an acceleration of the traveling wave of sound.

Macromolecular organization and fine structure of the human basilar membrane - RELEVANCE for cochlear implantation. [PDF]
Cell Tissue Res, 2015 Cochlear micromechanics and frequency tuning depend on the macromolecular organization of the basilar membrane (BM), which is still unclear in man. Novel techniques in cochlear implantation (CI) motivate further analyses of the BM.

Magnetic Steering of Robotically Inserted Lateral-wall Cochlear-implant Electrode Arrays Reduces Forces on the Basilar Membrane In Vitro. [PDF]
Otol Neurotol, 2021 Hypothesis: Undesirable forces applied to the basilar membrane during surgical insertion of lateral-wall cochlear-implant electrode arrays (EAs) can be reduced via robotic insertion with magnetic steering of the EA tip.

D-Galactose-induced oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction in the cochlear basilar membrane: an in vitro aging model. [PDF]
Biogerontology, 2020 The cochlear basilar membrane (CBM) contains inner hair cells and outer hair cells that convert sound waves into electrical signals and transmit them to the central auditory system.
