Fibro-Vascular Coupling in the Control of Cochlear Blood Flow

BACKGROUND: Transduction of sound in the cochlea is metabolically demanding. The lateral wall and hair cells are critically vulnerable to hypoxia, especially at high sound levels, and tight control over cochlear blood flow (CBF) is a physiological necessity. Yet despite the importance of CBF for hea...
