Responses of hair cells to statocyst rotation
A new technique is described for stimulating hair cells of the Hermissenda statocyst. The preparation and recording apparatus can be rotated at up to 78 rpm while recording intracellular potentials. Hair cells in front of the centrifugal force vector depolarize in response to rotation. Hair cells in...

| Sumario: | A new technique is described for stimulating hair cells of the Hermissenda statocyst. The preparation and recording apparatus can be rotated at up to 78 rpm while recording intracellular potentials. Hair cells in front of the centrifugal force vector depolarize in response to rotation. Hair cells in back of the centrifugal force vector hypoerpolarize in response to rotation. Mechanisms by which the hair cell generator potential might arise are examined. |
