In mammals,the piezoelectric protein,Prestin,endows the outer hair cells(OHCs)with electromotility(eM),which confers the capacity to change cellular length in response to alterations in membrane potential.Together wit...
The electrically evoked somatic motility of outer hair cells (OHC), briefly termed OHC electromotility, plays a crucial role in cochlear amplification that underlies the remarkably high sensitivity and frequency sel...

Prestin is the motor protein of cochlear outer hair cells (OHCs). It is able to perform rapid and reciprocal electromechanical conversion that underlies OHC electromotility. Due to the inadequate size of a single pr...

Prestin has been identified as a motor protein responsible for outer hair cell (OHC) electromotility and is expressed on the OHC surface. Previous studies revealed that OHC electromotility and its associated nonlinear...
Alternating currents injected into the cochlea are able to evoke outer hair cell-mediated basilar membrane motion, thus give rise to production of otoacoustic emissions. This electrically evoked otoacoustic emission(E...
Objective:To study the electromotility of the basilar membrane (BM) of guinea pigs in vivo. Methods :A pair of platinum-iridium wire electrodes were deposited into the holes drilled into the scala vestibuli and scala ...
