Sensory transduction at the frog semicircular canal: how hair cell membrane potential controls junctional transmission.

Sensory transduction at the frog semicircular canal: how hair cell membrane potential controls junctional transmission.

At the frog semicircular canals, the afferent fibers display high spontaneous activity (mEPSPs), due to transmitter release from hair cells. mEPSP and spike frequencies are modulated by stimulation that activates the hair cell receptor conductance. The relation between receptor current and transmitt...
