BK Channels Mediate Cholinergic Inhibition of High Frequency Cochlear Hair Cells

BACKGROUND: Outer hair cells are the specialized sensory cells that empower the mammalian hearing organ, the cochlea, with its remarkable sensitivity and frequency selectivity. Sound-evoked receptor potentials in outer hair cells are shaped by both voltage-gated K(+) channels that control the membra...
