Structural and functional effects of acoustic exposure in goldfish: evidence for tonotopy in the teleost saccule [PDF]
BMC Neuroscience, 2011 Background Mammalian and avian auditory hair cells display tonotopic mapping of frequency along the length of the cochlea and basilar papilla. It is not known whether the auditory hair cells of fishes possess a similar tonotopic organization in the ...
