Intracellular recordings from supporting cells in the organ of Corti.
Horseradish peroxidase marking and intracellular recording techniques were utilized to examine whether the heterogeneity of supporting cell types is reflected in their electrical behavior. The magnitudes of ac and dc response components were compared to their extracellular counterparts. The relationships among these potentials seem to be governed by the cell's location within the organ of Corti.
