Abstract:
Although initially met with scepticism, the in vitro temporal bone preparation of the cochlea has proved to be a very important tool for investigating the function of the mammalian auditory system. As present techniques are able to maintain sufficient cellular viability, the in vitro preparation offers a valuable bridge between investigations using isolated outer hair cells and the intact system in vivo.
