Limiting Dynamics of High-Frequency Electromechanical Transduction of Outer Hair Cells

High-frequency resolution is one of the salient features of peripheral sound processing in the mammalian cochlea. The sensitivity originates in the active amplification of the travelling wave on the basilar membrane by the outer hair cells (OHCs), where electrically induced mechanical action of the...
