Biophysics of the cochlea - biomechanics and ion channelopathies.

Abstract excerpt

Understanding how the cochlea works as a system has become increasingly important. We need to know this before integrating new information from genetic, physiological and clinical sources. This chapter will show how the cochlea should be seen as a device for carrying out a frequency analysis built from cells that have been adapted for specialist purposes. Sensory hair cells convert mechanical displacements into...
