The temporal relationship between basilar membrane motion and nerve impulse initiation in auditory nerve fibers of guinea pigs.
When the helicotrema was obstructed in guinea pigs, trapezoidal displacement of the round window membrane produced a trapezoidal microphonic which indicated a unidirectional displacement of the entire length of the basilar membrane. Responses of single auditory nerve fibers to the trapezoidal displacement of the round window membrane were recorded after obstruction of the helicotrema. About 39%...
متن کاملQuantitative anatomy of the round window and cochlear aqueduct in guinea pigs.
In order to analyze the entry of solutes through the round window membrane, a quantitative description of round window anatomy in relationship to scala tympani is required. High-resolution magnetic resonance microscopy was used to visualize the fluid spaces and tissues of the inner ear in three dimensions in isolated, fixed specimens from guinea pigs. Each specimen was represented as consecutiv...
متن کاملGalvanic Stimulation of the Vestibular Periphery in Guinea Pigs During
23 Irregular vestibular afferents exhibit significant phase leads with respect to angular velocity of 24 the head in space. This characteristic and their connectivity with vestibulospinal neurons 25 suggest a functionally important role for these afferents in producing the vestibulo-collic 26 reflex (VCR). A goal of these experiments was to test this hypothesis using weak galvanic 27 stimulatio...
متن کاملProtein transduction therapy into cochleae via the round window niche in guinea pigs
Cell-penetrating peptides (CPPs) are short sequences of amino acids that facilitate the penetration of conjugated cargoes across mammalian cell membranes, and as such, they may provide a safe and effective method for drug delivery to the inner ear. Simple polyarginine peptides have been shown to induce significantly higher cell penetration rates among CPPs. Herein, we show that a peptide consis...
متن کاملIn vivo measurement of basilar membrane stiffness.
Basilar membrane stiffness measurements were made in the base of the gerbil cochlea. Basilar membrane stiffness was determined by contacting the basilar membrane with a stainless steel needle (tip diameter 25 microns) attached to a force transducer, putting the needle/transducer structure through a low-frequency sinusoidal excursion with amplitude 5 or 25 nm, and measuring the restoring force e...
