Somatic stiffness of cochlear outer hair cells is voltage-dependent

The mammalian cochlea depends on an amplification process for its sensitivity and frequency-resolving capability. Outer hair cells are responsible for providing this amplification. It is usually assumed that the membrane–potential-driven somatic shape changes of these cells are the basis of the ampl...
