A New Hypothesis on the Frequency Discrimination of the Cochlea.
OBJECTIVE Medial olivocochlear efferent (MOCE) neurons innervate outer hair cells (OHCs) of the cochlea, which in turn leads to basilar membrane motion. We hypothesized that MOCE-induced alterations in basilar membrane motion, independent of traveling waves, is responsible for the cochlear frequency discrimination of sound. MATERIALS AND METHODS Eleven guinea pigs underwent bilateral otoscopi...
متن کاملMulti-channel pulsation strategy for electric stimulation of cochlea
This paper describes a speech coding strategy for a cochlear implant system assuming a Nucleus Cochlear Implant receiver stimulator. Speech processor converts input speech into a series of stimulation electrode position and stimulation current intensities. This process can be optimized with a decomposing process of an acoustic signal into a given set of impulse responses corresponding to a set ...
متن کاملLateral Sharpening of Cortical Frequency Tuning by Approximately Balanced Inhibition
Cortical inhibition plays an important role in shaping neuronal processing. The underlying synaptic mechanisms remain controversial. Here, in vivo whole-cell recordings from neurons in the rat primary auditory cortex revealed that the frequency tuning curve of inhibitory input was broader than that of excitatory input. This results in relatively stronger inhibition in frequency domains flanking...
متن کاملSharpening Out of Focus Images using High-Frequency Transfer
Focus misses are common in image capture, such as when the camera or the subject moves rapidly in sports and macro photography. One option to sharpen focus-missed photographs is through single image deconvolution, but high-frequency data cannot be fully recovered; therefore, artifacts such as ringing and amplified noise become apparent. We propose a new method that uses assisting, similar but d...
متن کاملThe Antiapoptotic Effect of Curcumin in the Fibroblast of the Cochlea in an Ototoxic Rat Model
Introduction: This study aimed to show the potency of curcumin as an antiapoptotic agent that decreases the apoptotic index in the cochlea lateral wall in ototoxic rat models. Materials and Methods: A total of 24 Rattus norvegicus were divided into eight groups: Group 1 (control group), Group 2 (gentamicin (+)), Group 3 (gentamicin + curcumin 20 mg/day), Group 4 (gentamicin + curcumin 40 ...
