摘要
En 中文
Recent in vivo recordings from the mammalian cochlea indicate that although the motion of the basilar membrane appears actively amplified and nonlinear only at frequencies relatively close to the peak of the response, the internal motions of the organ of Corti display these same features over a much wider range of frequencies. These experimental findings are not easily explained by the textbook view of cochlear mechanics, in which cochlear amplification is controlled by the motion of the basilar membrane (BM) in a tight, closed-loop feedback configuration. This study shows that a simple phenomenological model of the cochlea inspired by the work of Zweig [J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 138, 1102 (2015)] can account for recent data in mouse and gerbil. In this model, the active forces are regulated indirectly, through the effect of BM motion on the pressure field across the cochlear partition, rather than via direct coupling between active-force generation and BM vibration. The absence of strong vibration-amplification feedback in the cochlea also provides a compelling explanation for the observed intensity invariance of fine time structure in the BM response to acoustic clicks.
