Abstract

Hair cells of the internal ear respond to excitatory mechanical stimulation of their hair bundles by the rapid opening of poorly cation-selective transduction channels. These channels, which are located near the bundles' tips, may be gated by forces applied through elastic linkages between adjacent stereocilia.
