Journal ArticleDOI
Prestin is the motor protein of cochlear outer hair cells.
TL;DR: It is concluded that prestin is the motor protein of the cochlear outer hair cell, which is specifically expressed in outer hair cells that express prestin.
Journal ArticleDOI
The active cochlea.
TL;DR: The cochlea is a hydromechanical frequency analyzer located in the inner ear whose principal role is to perform a real- time spectral decomposition of the acoustic signal in producing a spatial frequency map.
Journal ArticleDOI
Intracellular anions as the voltage sensor of prestin, the outer hair cell motor protein
Dominik Oliver,David Z.Z. He,Nikolaj Klöcker,Jost Ludwig,Uwe Schulte,Siegfried Waldegger,J. P. Ruppersberg,Peter Dallos,Bernd Fakler +8 more
TL;DR: It is shown that voltage sensitivity is conferred to prestin by the intracellular anions chloride and bicarbonate, which support a model in which anions act as extrinsic voltage sensors, which bind to the prestin molecule and thus trigger the conformational changes required for motility of OHCs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Properties of auditory nerve responses in absence of outer hair cells
Peter Dallos,D. M. Harris +1 more
TL;DR: Recordings made from chinchilla auditory nerve fibers after portions of the cochlear outer hair cell (OHC) population were destroyed with the antibiotic kanamycin suggested that outer hair cells provide a frequency-dependent sensitizing influence to the inner hair cells.
Journal ArticleDOI
Forward masking of auditory nerve fiber responses
D. M. Harris,Peter Dallos +1 more
TL;DR: Forward masking in single fibers is related to the period of poststimulus recovery of spontaneous activity, a component of a fiber's response pattern to the masker, and this component is tentatively identified as a period of recovery from short-term adaptation.
