Loss of the Cochlear Amplifier Prestin Reduces Temporal Processing Efficacy in the Central Auditory System
Active mechanical amplification of sound occurs in cochlear outer hair cells (OHCs) that change their length with oscillations of their membrane potential. Such length changes are the proposed cellular source of the cochlear amplifier, and prestin is the motor protein responsible for OHC electromoti...
