  • Title: Can you still see the cochlea for the molecules?
    Author: Ashmore JF, Mammano F.
    Journal: Curr Opin Neurobiol; 2001 Aug; 11(4):449-54. PubMed ID: 11502391.
    Abstract:
    It is now established that the mammalian cochlea uses active amplification of incoming sound to achieve sensitivity. Cellular details are emerging slowly. Recent studies of sensory hair cells have highlighted the possible molecular bases for amplification and the components of sensitivity regulation within the cochlea: a synthesis is likely to depend on effective and physiologically informed modelling.
