Mechanical and electromotile characteristics of auditory outer hair cells
Medical & Biological Engineering & Computing, 1999The passive and active properties of the cochlear outer hair cell are studied. The outer hair cell is currently considered the major candidate for the active component of mammalian hearing. Understanding of its properties may explain the amplification and sharp frequency selectivity of the ear.

Recent insights into regeneration of auditory and vestibular hair cells
Current Opinion in Neurology, 1998Advances in hair cell regeneration are progressing at a rapid rate. This review will highlight and critique recent attempts to understand some of the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying hair cell regeneration in non-mammalian vertebrates and efforts to induce regeneration in the mammalian inner ear sensory epithelium.

Auditory hair cells in human fetuses: Synaptogenesis and ciliogenesis
Journal of Electron Microscopy Technique, 1990AbstractThis paper brings together the most recent findings concerning the development of human fetus cochlear hair cells, as observed using transmission and scanning electron microscopy (TEM and SEM). Specific attention is drawn to the formation of synapses and the growth of stereocilia.

Auditory Hair Cells and Sensory Transduction
2017The organs of the vertebrate inner ear respond to a variety of mechanical stimuli: semicircular canals are sensitive to angular velocity, the saccule and utricle respond to linear acceleration (including gravity), and the cochlea is sensitive to airborne vibration, or sound.

Substance P in the Auditory Hair Cells in the Guinea Pig
ORL, 1996Previous immunohistochemical and electrophysiological studies on various neurotransmitters revealed the tachykinin substance P (SP) as a neuromodulator in the auditory system of mammals. This study was performed in order to determine the immunohistochemical expression and distribution pattern of SP in the organ of Corti, especially in the inner (IHC ...

Auditory amplification: outer hair cells pres the issue
Trends in Neurosciences, 2003Active feedback mechanisms in the ears of mammals amplify and tune the auditory response to sound stimuli, allowing these organisms to enjoy both exquisite sensitivity and sharp frequency selectivity. A requisite component of this feedback pathway has recently been identified.

Auditory collusion and a coupled couple of outer hair cells
Nature, 1999The discrepancies between measured frequency responses of the basilar membrane in the inner ear and the frequency tuning found in psychophysical experiments led to Bekesy's idea of lateral inhibition in the auditory nervous system. We now know that basilar membrane tuning can account for neural tuning, and that sharpening of the passive travelling wave

Tonotopic Specialization of MYO7A Isoforms in Auditory Hair Cells
1. Abstract Mutations in Myo7a cause Usher syndrome type 1B and non-syndromic deafness, but the precise function of MYO7A in sensory hair cells remains unclear. We identify and characterize a novel isoform, MYO7A-N, expressed in auditory hair cells alongside the ...Sihan Li +5 more
