Sound-evoked tonic motility of cochlear outer hair cells in mice with stereociliary defects

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, Volume 122, number 30, July 2025.
The considerable audience of meaning requires a process of amplification mediated by cochlear external ciliated cells (OHC). These cells transduce the vibrations of their mechanical stereocilies into electrical potentials and change its length in response. While the sound …
