Efferent Control of the Electrical and Mechanical Properties of Hair Cells in the Bullfrog's Sacculus

BACKGROUND: Hair cells in the auditory, vestibular, and lateral-line systems respond to mechanical stimulation and transmit information to afferent nerve fibers. The sensitivity of mechanoelectrical transduction is modulated by the efferent pathway, whose activity usually reduces the responsiveness...
