Amplification mode differs along the length of the mouse cochlea as revealed by connexin 26 deletion from specific gap junctions
Abstract The sharp frequency tuning and exquisite sensitivity of the mammalian cochlea is due to active forces delivered by outer hair cells (OHCs) to the cochlear partition. Force transmission is mediated and modulated by specialized cells, including Deiters’ cells (DCs) and pillar cells (PCs), cou...
