Sound reception and synaptic transmission in goldfish hair cells.
Great advances in studies on the mechanisms of stimulus reception and transmission in hair cell organs have been made. With the use of intracellular recording, mechanisms related to transduction have been elucidated. The cochlea possesses mechanisms much more sophisticated than in other hair cell organs. In this review, the author attempted to explain these points, in relation to investigation on the goldfish sacculus (i.e. its inner ear).
