Cochlear inner hair cells: Effects of transient asphyxia on intracellular potentials (1983)

Brown, M. Christian, Nuttall, Alfred L., Masta, Robert I., Lawrence, Merle

Intracellular potentials were recorded from inner hair cells in the guinea pig cochlea. Transient asphyxia was induced by interrupting respiration for brief periods. Asphyxia caused a...
