Modelling Cochlear Micromechanics
The cochlea is an organ of the hearing system, whose basic function is to map sounds of different frequencies onto corresponding characteristic positions along the basilar membrane (BM). Sound-induced BM vibration is transformed into deflection of stereocilia on the hair cells, which then encodes the sound as neural signals for perception. Most cochlear models used to describe the BM vibration ...
متن کاملThe endocochlear potential alters cochlear micromechanics.
Acoustic stimulation gates mechanically sensitive ion channels in cochlear sensory hair cells. Even in the absence of sound, a fraction of these channels remains open, forming a conductance between hair cells and the adjacent fluid space, scala media. Restoring the lost endogenous polarization of scala media in an in vitro preparation of the whole cochlea depolarizes the hair cell soma. Using b...
متن کاملCochlear micromechanics - - A transduction physical model of
One of the basic questions which as persisted in the field of heating theory is the still unresolved mechanical action of hair-cell transduction. The fundamental problem that has historically plagued researches is the discrepancy between mechanically measured tuning of basilar membrane motion and neurally measured tuning. Inthis paper we show that he difference between these two measures appear...
متن کاملLattice models in micromechanics
This review presents the potential that lattice ~or spring network! models hold for micromechanics applications. The models have their origin in the atomistic representations of matter on one hand, and in the truss-type systems in engineering on the other. The paper evolves by first giving a rather detailed presentation of one-dimensional and planar lattice models for classical continua. This i...
متن کاملHierarchial Models of Nanomechanics and Micromechanics
An overview of theoretical and computational methods in the rapidly advancing field of Nanomechanics and Micromechanics of materials is given. This overview emphasizes the Multiscale Modelling of Materials (MMM) approach, which relies on a reduction of the degrees of freedom at natural length scales. Two main challenges are identified in the MMM approach: (i) the computational complexity of ful...
