A Computational Study on the Structure, Dynamics and Mechanoelectric Transduction of Vestibular Hair cell

The hair cell, a specialized cell in the inner ear, is responsible for hearing and balance. The hair cell is an exquisite sensor that captures mechanical stimuli and generates neurosensory signals. A theory called gating theory has been developed and widely used to analyze the experimental data of h...
