Electrokinetic properties of the mammalian tectorial membrane

Electrokinetic properties of the mammalian tectorial membrane

The tectorial membrane (TM) clearly plays a mechanical role in stimulating cochlear sensory receptors, but the presence of fixed charge in TM constituents suggests that electromechanical properties also may be important. Here, we measure the fixed charge density of the TM and show that this density...
