[Complex frequency-selective properties of the fibers of the acoustic nerve in the pigeon]. 1987

A N Temchin

Frequency-selectivity properties of 198 single auditory fibres in the pigeon were investigated by means of an automatic method. Spontaneous activity in 56 of them innervating hair cells with oscillatory membrane potential changes could be inhibited by single-frequency stimuli (one-tone inhibition). Inhibition areas lay above (45%), below (7%) or on both sides (48%) of their characteristic frequencies (CFs). Input-output functions at inhibitory frequencies were nonmonotonic, while they were always monotonic at best frequencies near CF. One-tone inhibition was not observed in the remaining 142 fibres. Analysis of mechanoelectric processes in hair cells during one-tone inhibition indicates their possible analogy with the well known two-tone effects.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008564 Membrane Potentials The voltage differences across a membrane. For cellular membranes they are computed by subtracting the voltage measured outside the membrane from the voltage measured inside the membrane. They result from differences of inside versus outside concentration of potassium, sodium, chloride, and other ions across cells' or ORGANELLES membranes. For excitable cells, the resting membrane potentials range between -30 and -100 millivolts. Physical, chemical, or electrical stimuli can make a membrane potential more negative (hyperpolarization), or less negative (depolarization).

D010856 Columbidae Family in the order COLUMBIFORMES, comprised of pigeons or doves. They are BIRDS with short legs, stout bodies, small heads, and slender bills. Some sources call the smaller species doves and the larger pigeons, but the names are interchangeable.

D006198 Hair Cells, Auditory Sensory cells in the organ of Corti, characterized by their apical stereocilia (hair-like projections). The inner and outer hair cells, as defined by their proximity to the core of spongy bone (the modiolus), change morphologically along the COCHLEA. Towards the cochlear apex, the length of hair cell bodies and their apical STEREOCILIA increase, allowing differential responses to various frequencies of sound.

D000159 Vestibulocochlear Nerve The 8th cranial nerve. The vestibulocochlear nerve has a cochlear part (COCHLEAR NERVE) which is concerned with hearing and a vestibular part (VESTIBULAR NERVE) which mediates the sense of balance and head position. The fibers of the cochlear nerve originate from neurons of the SPIRAL GANGLION and project to the cochlear nuclei (COCHLEAR NUCLEUS). The fibers of the vestibular nerve arise from neurons of Scarpa's ganglion and project to the VESTIBULAR NUCLEI.
