In situ motions of individual inner-hair-cell stereocilia from stapes stimulation in adult mice
In vertebrate hearing organs, mechanical vibrations are converted to ionic currents through
mechanoelectrical-transduction (MET) channels. Concerted stereocilia motion produces an …

Hair cell mechanosensitivity resides in the sensory hair bundle, an apical protrusion of actin-
filled stereocilia arranged in a staircase pattern. Hair bundle deflection activates mechano …

Coupling between the stereocilia of rat sensory inner-hair-cell hair bundles is weak, shaping their sensitivity to stimulation
The hair bundle is the universal mechanosensory organelle of auditory, vestibular, and
lateral-line systems. A bundle comprises mechanically coupled stereocilia, whose …
