Synchronized Progression of Prestin Expression and Auditory Brainstem Response during Postnatal Development in Rats

Figure 4

NLC measured from apical OHCs at various postnatal ages. (a) The mean NLC-voltage responses were fitted with the Boltzmann function (color coded heavy lines). NLC was normalized by and the curves were plotted as the mean ± SD. ((b)–(e)) Four parameters derived from curve fitting with Boltzmann’s function. See results for details. Data are expressed as the mean ± SD. , 8, 8, 12, and 10 for P6, P9, P11, P14, and adult, respectively. ; (Student’s t-test).
