Two passive mechanical conditions modulate power generation by the outer hair cells
Fig 10
Two mechanical parameters affecting the location-dependent amplification.
The black curves are standard responses and the colored curves are from the ‘test’ models with reversed rOHC (A-C) or rOHB (D-F) in Fig 9. (A) BM displacement gain versus frequency when active. Three pairs of curves are the responses at x = 10, 6, and 2 mm, respectively. With the reversed rOHC model, the apex is amplified more. (B) When passive, the reversed rOHC hardly affects the response. (C) Amplification levels along the cochlear length. (D-F) The responses with the reversed rOHB model.
