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

Figure 8

Examples of the strong onset response elicited by compound fusion. The results show the averaged postsynaptic conductance change following 100 iterations of a step change in the intracellular voltage from −70 mV to −20 mV. Taking away the compound fusion mechanism no onset response is observed. Forward masking is examined by introducing gaps in stimulation to observe recovery of response.
