Hair cell based amplification in the cochlea

J F Ashmore et al. Curr Opin Neurobiol. 1994 Aug.

Abstract

Recently, several reports have provided data about the way in which outer hair cells amplify sound within the cochlea. These include new measurements of hair cell forces in the cochlea and in isolated hair cells. In addition, theoretical advances that synthesize such experiments and show how hair cells might tune up the cochlear response sound promising.
