Abstract:
:No adequate theory for the signal-transmission properties of the peripheral auditory system exists for any vertebrate ear. Because the mammalian ear seems to pose conceptual and technical problems that complicate the development of an adequate theory, it is worthwhile to investigate simpler ears. The ear of the alligator lizard is simpler than mammalian ears in several respects: the motion of the basilar membrane is approximately independent of longitudinal position and is approximately linearly related to the sound pressure at the tympanic membrane; in a large region of the cochlea the hair cells have free-standing stereocilia that are not in contact with a tectorial membrane; the receptor potential of these hair cells is related to the sound pressure at the tympanic membrane in a relatively simple manner; the cochlear-nerve fiber responses from this region do not exhibit two-tone rate suppression. Also, the relative accessibility of this ear has enabled measurement of several response variables: tympanic-membrane volume velocity, extracolumella velocity, basilar-membrane velocity, hair-cell stereociliary displacement, hair-cell receptor potentials, and cochlear-nerve-fiber discharges. A model is developed to represent these results in terms of underlying anatomical structures and physiological mechanisms.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
