Cellular Signaling in Development of the Cochlear Tonotopic Gradient
… of hair cells, which are arranged along the auditory organ according to their preferred frequencies. This arrangement is termed a tonotopic gradient. The tuning results from coordination of many cellular and extracellular features. Seeking the mechanisms that orchestrate those features and …

Frequency Selectivity of Synaptic Exocytosis in Hair Cells of the Bullfrog's Amphibian Papilla
<p>Auditory organs act as spectral analyzers by decomposing acoustic stimuli into their frequency constituents. Individual auditory afferent neurons of the VIIIth cranial nerve respond best to a particular frequency of stimulation, and are thus frequency-tuned. Much of the tuning in the inner ears …

Mechanical Control of Sensory Hair-Bundle Function
<p>Hair bundles detect sound in the auditory system, head position and rotation in the vestibular system, and fluid flow in the lateral-line system. To do so, bundles respond to periodic, static, and hydrodynamic forces contingent upon the receptor organs in which they are situated. As the …

Understanding and Mimicking the Fly's Directional Hearing: Modeling, Sensor Development, and Experimental Studies
… microphones. In nature, animal hearing organs are also governed by the size constraint; the smaller the organ size, the smaller the available directional cues for directional hearing. However, with an auditory organ separation of only 520 µm, the fly Ormia ochracea is found to exhibit …

EXPRESSION AND MISEXPRESSION OF THE MIR-183 FAMILY IN THE DEVELOPING HEARING ORGAN OF THE CHICKEN
… cells were present in several vestibular sensory organs. At the same age, expression was detectable in the apex of the basilar papilla with differentiated hair cells, and a weak radial gradient was seen with the highest expression on the superior side in the base of the basilar papillae with …
