The Round Window Membrane - Gateway to the Cochlea : A Morphological and Electrophysiological study

The Round Window Membrane - Gateway to the Cochlea : A Morphological and Electrophysiological study

Topical treatment of several inner ear diseases through the round window membrane (RWM) might be feasible in the near future. Bacteria toxins, ototoxic drugs and noise trauma seem to harm the inner ear by a common pathway which involves, excessive outflow of the afferent neurotransmitter glutamate a...
