Title:

BAPTA Induces Frequency Shifts in vivo of Spontaneous Otoacoustic Emissions of the Bobtail Lizard

Author(s):
Manley, Geoffrey A.; Kirk, Desmond L.
Abstract:
Spontaneous otoacoustic emissions (SOAEs) are indicators of active processes in the inner ear and are found in all classes of land vertebrates. In the Australian bobtail lizard, earlier work showed that otoacoustic emissions are generated by an active motility process in the hair-cell bundle. This is likely to be driven by calcium-sensitive mechanisms implicated in other non-mammalian hair cell systems. If so, it should be fundamentally influenced by the extracellular calcium concentration. In i...     »
