About this document
Mammalian Hair Bundles in Cochlear Amplification by 107bt005 is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The document summarizes research on force generation by mammalian hair bundles and its role in cochlear amplification. Experiments measured the motion of hair bundles in response to mechanical stimulation. At first, bundle motion depended linearly on force, but gradually became nonlinear over time, indicating the bundle generated its own opposing force. This force was found to be mediated by calcium ions and adaptation of mechanoelectrical transduction channels. The findings support a role for outer hair ce
