Quantitative Analysis Linking Inner Hair Cell Voltage Changes and Postsynaptic Conductance Change: A Modelling Study

Figure 13

Illustration of the method used to estimate the across repetition inter-vesicle release time intervals. Each vesicle release event is taken individually, as the example event shown in red with an asterisk, and the time intervals from the given event to all the forward events are recorded, as exemplified by the arrows. Note the top raster plot shows the vesicle release events for auditory stimulation with a pure tone of 100 Hz, at 80 dB SPL as recorded from the inner hair cell residing at the basilar membrane point with a best frequency of 103 Hz. The method is very similar to the shuffled autocorrelogram described elsewhere [58, 59].
