The cochlear amplifier and Ca2+ current-driven active stereocilia motion

Research output: Contribution to journalShort surveypeer-review

Abstract

Despite 20 years of study, the mechanism underlying the cochlear amplifier remains contentious. In this issue, a novel in vitro cochlear preparation implicates calcium current-driven active stereocilia motion in generating amplification.
