Two passive mechanical conditions modulate power generation by the outer hair cells

OCC transfer functions relevant to the location-dependent phase relationship.
Each data point represents the gain or phase of OCC responses with respect to the BM displacement that were computed for the best frequency at the respective location. dHB: hair bundle displacement. zTM: TM displacement along the radial (z) axis. yTM: TM displacement along the transverse (y)axis. Vm: outer hair cell receptor potential. iMET: mechano-transduction current. dOHC: outer hair cell length change. All gains are in nm/nm, but mV/nm for Vm, and nA/nm for iMET. (A) Active responses. (B) Passive responses.
