title: Comparative study of the nerve endings of the outer and inner hair cells in the organ of Corti.
abstract: The synaptic region and nerve endings have been studied both in the outer and inner hair cells by using optic and electron microscopy, nerve staining and Acetyl Cholinesterase activity. The findings are described, with a discussion of the results.
