... of three Fukomys species reveal a highly restricted hearing range. Hearing sensitivity Subterranean mammals Sound localization Auditory fovea Inner ear Middle ear African mole-rats of the genus Fukomys spend their entire life in underground tunnel systems. The aphotic subterranean...

...Viviane Wilms; Chris Söffgen; Hans Gerd Nothwang ABSTRACT Mechanoelectrical transduction in the vertebrate inner ear is a highly conserved mechanism that is dependent on K + influx into hair cells. Here, we investigated the molecular underpinnings of subsequent K + recycling in the chicken basilar...

..., most afferent data are from adult animals, but most ion channel data are from rats and mice in the first two postnatal weeks, when dissociation and patching are easier. The early postnatal period is a time of active inner ear development for these animals. Hair cells are still being born up to about...

...P. Payan; G. Borelli; F. Priouzeau; H. De Pontual; G. Bœuf; N. Mayer-Gostan SUMMARY Kinetic and pharmacological characteristics of Ca 2+ fluxes across the saccular epithelium of trout were studied using a perfused isolated inner ear. 45 Ca 2+ influx from the Ringer solution to the endolymph was 3-4...

...P. Payan; H. Kossmann; A. Watrin; N. Mayer-Gostan; G. Boeuf ABSTRACT Ionic (Na + , K + , Cl − , PO 4 3− , pH), total CO 2 , total calcium and protein concentrations in the plasma and endolymph of the inner ear were compared in trout Oncorhynchus mykiss and turbot Scophthalmus maximus . In both...

...Hans Erik Karlsen; Olav Sand ABSTRACT Fish possess two separate systems for detection of low-level sound and water motions in the low-frequency range: the inner ear and the lateral line. The relative roles of these systems in normal fish behaviour is still not clear. There is, for instance, a lack...
