Asymmetric vibrations in the organ of Corti by outer hair cells measured from excised gerbil cochlea

Abstract Pending questions regarding cochlear amplification and tuning are hinged upon the organ of Corti (OoC) active mechanics: how outer hair cells modulate OoC vibrations. Our knowledge regarding OoC mechanics has advanced over the past decade thanks to the application of tomographic vibrometry....
