Overview

This volume contains the proceedings of an international hearing-research conference held in Germany 2002. The conference brought together experts in genetics, molecular and cellular biology, physiology, engineering, physics, mathematics, audiology and medicine to synthesize and extend our understanding of how the cochlea works. Topics are discussed experimentally and theoretically at the molecular, cellular and whole-organ levels. Some of the topics are: mechanosensitivity of motor proteins; mechanochemical transduction by motor proteins; mechanoelectrical transduction in the stereocilia of hair cells; electromechanical transduction in the stereocilia, soma and synapses of hair cells; multidimensional vibration of the organ of Corti; and otoacoustic emissions. The book should be useful to researchers and students in auditory science.

Table of Contents

Reviews

In addition to the scientific papers, this book includes the comments and discussions raised for each manuscript at the time of its oral presentation, and most importantly, a final chapter with the edited transcript of the recording of a discussion session about outstanding topics of cochlear biophysics held by some of the most prominent researchers in the field. The first hand information provided by these transcripts is precisely what makes this book particularly interesting ... The quality of this carefully edited book is excellent.
