cochlear hair cells and the inferior colliculus (IC)
in the auditory pathway.

Selective deletion of
cochlear hair cells causes rapid age - dependent changes
in spiral ganglion and
cochlear nucleus neurons.
Cochlear hair cells normally detect positive deflections of their
hair bundles, rotating toward their tallest edge, which opens mechanotransducer (MT) channels by increased tension
in interciliary tip links.
