  • Title: Cochlear transduction: an integrative model and review.
    Author: Brownell WE.
    Journal: Hear Res; 1982 Apr; 6(3):335-60. PubMed ID: 6282796.
    Abstract:
    A model for cochlear transduction is presented that is based on considerations of the cell biology of its receptor cells, particularly the mechanisms of transmitter release at recepto-neural synapses. Two new interrelated hypotheses on the functional organization of the organ of Corti result from these considerations, one dealing with the possibility of electrotonic interaction between inner and outer hair cells and the other with a possible contributing source to acoustic emissions of cochlear origin that results from vesicular membrane turnover.
