Hair bundles of cochlear outer hair cells are shaped to minimize their fluid-dynamic resistance
Abstract The mammalian sense of hearing relies on two types of sensory cells: inner hair cells transmit the auditory stimulus to the brain, while outer hair cells mechanically modulate the stimulus through active feedback. Stimulation of a hair cell is mediated by displacements of its mechanosensiti...
