Viscoelastic relaxation in the membrane of the auditory outer hair cell.

The outer hair cell (OHC) in the mammalian ear has a unique membrane potential-dependent motility, which is considered to be important for frequency discrimination (tuning). The OHC motile mechanism is located at the cell membrane and is strongly influenced by its passive mechanical properties. To s...
