Biophysics of Hair Cell

by H. Duifhuis, J Wiebe Horst (Editor), Pim Van Dijk (Editor)

The last decade revealed to auditory researchers that hair cells can not only detect and process mechanical energy, but are also able to produce it. Thanks to the active hair cell, ears can produce otoacoustic emissions. This book gives the newest insights into the biophysics and physiology of individual hair cells and integral hair cell systems such as the inner ear and the lateral line organ.
