inner hair cell

The inner hair cells provide the main neural output of the cochlea.

The passive system works to stimulate the inner hair cells directly and works at levels above 40dB.

The organ of Corti comprises both outer and inner hair cells.

When both the outer and inner hair cells are damaged the filter is broader on both sides.

The transmission between the inner hair cells and the neurons is chemical, using glutamate as a neurotransmitter.

Hensen's stripe is the section of the tectorial membrane above the inner hair cell.

Type I neurons innervate inner hair cells.

This, in turn, influences the deflection of the hair bundles of the inner hair cells.

In birds, for instance, instead of outer and inner hair cells, there are tall and short hair cells.

A radial fiber bundle acts as an intermediary between Type I neurons and inner hair cells.

The protein otoferlin is observed phenotypically in human auditory inner hair cells, and abnormal expression has been linked with deafness.

Nerve fiber innervation is much denser for inner hair cells than for outer hair cells.

Inner hair cells are the mechanoreceptors for hearing: they transduce the vibration of sound into electrical activity in nerve fibers, which is transmitted to the brain.

Inner hair cells, like the photoreceptor cells of the eye, show a graded response, instead of the spikes typical of other neurons.

The outer hair cells, or OHCs, can be thought of as microamplifiers that provide stimulation to the inner hair cells.

Sound-driven vibrations travel as waves along this membrane, along which, in humans, lie about 3,500 inner hair cells spaced in a single row.

The organ of Corti is lined with a single row of inner hair cells and three rows of outer hair cells.

The type I fibres are thicker than the type II fibres and may also differ in how they innervate the inner hair cells.

Mammalian cochlear hair cells come in two anatomically and functionally distinct types: the outer and inner hair cells.

A single inner hair cell is innervated by numerous nerve fibers, whereas a single nerve fiber innervates many outer hair cells.

It is highly expressed in the outer hair cells, and is not expressed in the nonmotile inner hair cells.

Efferent synapses occur on outer hair cells and on afferent (towards the brain) dendrites under inner hair cells.

The ratio of innervation that is seen between Type I neurons and inner hair cells is 1:1 which results in high signal transmission fidelity and resolution.

The paper suggests that the outer hair cells create a standing wave resonance, from which energy is delivered to inner hair cells (where neural transduction takes place).

In humans, cochlear implants have shown to reduce the debilitating effects of abnormal otoferlin expression by surpassing the synapse associated with the auditory inner hair cells.
