The sensory and motor roles of auditory hair cells [PDF]

Nature Reviews Neuroscience, 2006
Cochlear hair cells respond with phenomenal speed and sensitivity to sound vibrations that cause submicron deflections of their hair bundle. Outer hair cells are not only detectors, but also generate force to augment auditory sensitivity and frequency selectivity.

Neurofilament proteins in avian auditory hair cells [PDF]

The Journal of Comparative Neurology, 1997
The distribution of middle-weight neurofilament protein (NF-M), an intermediate filament of neurons, was examined in the developing and mature avian inner ear by using immunocytochemical techniques. NF-M was detected in auditory hair cells and VIIIth cranial nerve neurons.

Adaptation in auditory hair cells

Current Opinion in Neurobiology, 2003
The narrow stimulus limits of hair cell transduction, equivalent to a total excursion of about 100nm at the tip of the hair bundle, demand tight regulation of the mechanical input to ensure that the mechanoelectrical transducer (MET) channels operate in their linear range.

Replacement of mammalian auditory hair cells

NeuroReport, 1998
We investigated the potential for hair cell regeneration in neonatal rat organs of Corti grown in culture following destruction of hair cells by neomycin toxicity. Replacement hair cells were observed by light and scanning electron microscopy in lesion sites in the cultures treated with transforming growth factor-alpha, epidermal growth factor or a ...

Auditory illusions and the single hair cell

Nature, 1993
Like our other senses, the auditory system can produce illusions. Prominent among these are distortion products: when listening to two tones, one of frequency f1 and the second of a higher frequency f2, an individual may hear not only these primary tones, but also a difference tone of frequency f2 - f1, a sum tone of frequency f2 + f1, and combination ...

Mechanosensitivity of mammalian auditory hair cells in vitro

Nature, 1986
Intracellular responses recorded in vitro from the cochleas of anaesthetized mammals have shown that the mechanoreceptive inner and outer hair cells are sharply tuned, accounting for many of the properties of the afferent fibres in the auditory nerve. However, in vivo it has not been possible to measure directly the excitatory mechanical input to these

Apical phosphatidylserine externalization in auditory hair cells

Molecular Membrane Biology, 2007
In hair cells of the inner ear, phosphatidylserine (PS), detected with fluorescent annexin V labeling, was rapidly exposed on the external leaflet of apical plasma membranes upon dissection of the organ of Corti. PS externalization was unchanged by caspase inhibition, suggesting that externalization did not portend apoptosis or necrosis.

The efferents interconnecting auditory inner hair cells

Hearing Research, 1994
The work describes the system of efferent terminals that interconnect inner hair cells through a chain of direct somatic synapses organized in repetitive patterns. The efferent boutons were discovered in the apical turns of 12-day-old (hearing) mice.
