Hair Cells – Beyond the Transducer
Journal of Membrane Biology, 2006This review considers the "tween twixt and twain" of hair cell physiology, specifically the signaling elements and membrane conductances which underpin forward and reverse transduction at the input stage of hair cell function and neurotransmitter release at the output stage. Other sections of this review series outline the advances which have been made

The peripheral auditory system acts like a spectrum analyzer to break down complex sounds into their frequency and intensity components. All of this information is transferred from sensory cell to afferent fiber via ribbon synapses where graded hair cell receptor potentials are transformed into synaptic events that generate postsynaptic action ...

The hair cell's transduction channel
Current Opinion in Neurobiology, 2002The elusive transduction channel is the key player in mechanical transduction by the sensory hair cells of the inner ear. Multiple factors have thwarted molecular identification of this channel, including the lack of a definitive pharmacological signature, the paucity of hair cells, and the uniqueness of their transduction mechanism. At present, we are

The aging vestibular hair cell
American Journal of Otolaryngology, 1983The ultrastructure of aging vestibular hair cells of the guinea pig can be abnormal even though they appear morphologically normal by light microscopy. In only a few of the hair cells studied did nonspecific changes occur. In general, the age-related changes involved specific structures in the hair cells: aggregations of lipofuscin pigments ...

The sensory cells of the auditory/vestibular system rely on two highly specialized structures to transmit information to the brain: hair bundles and ribbon synapses. Hair bundles transduce sound and head movements into changes in membrane potential, which in turn stimulate ribbon synapses to release neurotransmitter.

A study of the medullary cells of the hair
Experimental Cell Research, 1953Abstract 1. 1. Medullary cells of white rabbit hair were isolated by a modified method of Lloyd and Marriott. 2. 2. Microscopic examination of isolated medullary cells shows that they are made up of both large and small granules. Medullary cells appear isotropic under the polarizing microscope.

Cytodifferentiation of cochlear hair cells
American Journal of Otolaryngology, 1983Cytodifferentiation of a limited number of cochlear hair cells in the mouse starts on the 14th gestational day. One day later, the number of identified hair cells increases considerably. Cytodifferentiation apparently occurs in a gradient from the hair cell surface to the base.
