title: [Ultrastructural changes in the neurosensory epithelium of the cochlea under the influence of electrostimulation].
abstract: Experimental study of electrostimulation effect on the spiral organ ultrastructure was conducted in otologically healthy guinea pigs and in those subjected to ototoxic effect of antibiotics. Increase in the number of mitochondria, ribosomes and rough endoplasmic reticulum cisterns as well as multiple contacts between mitochondria and membranous structures of the cell were noted in Corti's organ sensory hair cells. Changes in receptor cell ultrastructure indicate the activation of biosynthetic and energetic processes caused by electrostimulation.
