Fast and slow effects of medial olivocochlear efferent activity in humans. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 The medial olivocochlear (MOC) pathway modulates basilar membrane motion and auditory nerve activity on both a fast (10-100 ms) and a slow (10-100 s) time scale in guinea pigs.

The Human Auditory System and Audio [PDF]
Applied Acoustics (Elsevier), Volume 211, August 2023, 109507, 2023 This work reviews the human auditory system, elucidating some of the specialized mechanisms and non-linear pathways along the chain of events between physical sound and its perception. Customary relationships between frequency, time, and phase--such as the uncertainty principle--that hold for linear systems, do not apply straightforwardly to the ...

Alterations of voltage-dependent calcium channel currents in basilar artery smooth muscle cells at early stage of subarachnoid hemorrhage in a rabbit model. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 OBJECTIVE: To investigate the changes in the currents of voltage-dependent calcium channels (VDCCs) in smooth muscle cells of basilar artery in a rabbit model of subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). METHODS: New Zealand white rabbits were randomly divided into

Depletion of resident macrophages does not alter sensory regeneration in the avian cochlea. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Macrophages are the primary effector cells of the innate immune system and are also activated in response to tissue injury. The avian cochlea contains a population of resident macrophages, but the precise function of those cells is not known. The present

A ratchet mechanism for amplification in low-frequency mammalian hearing [PDF]
Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 107, 4973-4978 (2010), 2010 The sensitivity and frequency selectivity of hearing result from tuned amplification by an active process in the mechanoreceptive hair cells. In most vertebrates the active process stems from the active motility of hair bundles. The mammalian cochlea exhibits an additional form of mechanical activity termed electromotility: its outer hair cells (OHCs ...

The physics of hearing: fluid mechanics and the active process of the inner ear [PDF]
Rep. Progr. Phys. 77:7 (2014), 2014 Most sounds of interest consist of complex, time-dependent admixtures of tones of diverse frequencies and variable amplitudes. To detect and process these signals, the ear employs a highly nonlinear, adaptive, real-time spectral analyzer: the cochlea.

The evolution of the various structures required for hearing in Latimeria and tetrapods
IBRO Neuroscience Reports, 2023 Sarcopterygians evolved around 415 Ma and have developed a unique set of features, including the basilar papilla and the cochlear aqueduct of the inner ear.

Hydromechanical Structure of the Cochlea Supports the Backward Traveling Wave in the Cochlea In Vivo
Neural Plasticity, 2018 The discovery that an apparent forward-propagating otoacoustic emission (OAE) induced basilar membrane vibration has created a serious debate in the field of cochlear mechanics. The traditional theory predicts that OAE will propagate to the ear canal via
