Auditory nerve spike generator modeled as a variable attenuator based on a saddle node on invariant circle bifurcation.
Mammalian inner hair cells transduce the sound waves amplified by the cochlear amplifier (CA) into a graded neurotransmitter release that activates channels on auditory nerve fibers (ANF). These synaptic channels then charge its dendritic spike generator. While the outer hair cells of the CA employ...
