Gating-spring stiffness increases outer-hair-cell bundle stiffness, damping, and receptor current
Abstract In our ears, outer-hair-cell bundles (OHBs) convert sound-induced forces into receptor currents that drive cochlear amplification, the process responsible for the micropascal-scale threshold and million-fold dynamic range of hearing. OHBs rely on gating springs to open mechanoelectrical-tra...
