In this study, we analyze the processing of low-frequency sounds in the cochlear apex
through responses of auditory nerve fibers (ANFs) that innervate the apex. Single tones and …

Our understanding of cochlear mechanics is impeded by the lack of truly panoramic data.
Sensitive mechanical measurements cover only a narrow cochlear region, mostly in the …

In the Mongolian gerbil, round window (RW) recordings of averaged responses to phase-
locked acoustic stimuli which are not alternated in polarity can include both the cochlear …

Using a laser velocimeter, responses to tones were measured at a basilar membrane site
located about 1.2 mm from the extreme basal end of the gerbil cochlea. In two exceptional …

Responses to tones with frequency≤ 5 kHz were recorded from auditory nerve fibers (ANFs)
of anesthetized chinchillas. With increasing stimulus level, discharge rate–frequency …

The basal membrane (BM) velocity responses to pure tones were measured using a newly
developed laser interferometer microscope that does not require placing a reflecting object …

To date, mechanical measurements in chinchilla cochleae are available only for two
regions, one at a basal site and the other at the apex (3.5 and 14 mm from the oval window …

The directionality of hair cell stimulation combined with the vibration of the basilar
membrane causes the auditory nerve fiber action potentials, in response to low-frequency …

The mechanical behavior of structures in the apex of the chinchilla cochlea was studied
using a displacement sensitive interferometer. The characteristic frequency (CF) for the …

One of the tenets of mammalian auditory physiology is that the frequency selectivity at the
cochlear base decreases as a function of stimulus level. Changes in frequency selectivity …
