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

Figure 6

Calcium ion concentration built-up from the calcium channels opening and signifying a practically concurrent opening of four calcium channels. Inserts show top view cross-sections at different -axis distances exemplifying the short spatial extent of calcium ion reach around the channels mouth. The inserts show the base 10 logarithm of the internal calcium ion concentration with a colour coding as indicated by the colour bar in the diagram.
