Temperature Enhances Activation and Inactivation Kinetics of Potassium Currents in Inner Hair Cells Isolated from Guinea-Pig Cochlea

ObjectivesUntil recently, most patch-clamp recordings in inner hair cells (IHCs) have been performed at room temperature. The results acquired at room temperature should be corrected if they are to be related to in vivo findings. However, the temperature dependency to ion channels in IHCs is unknown...
