Basilar Membrane - Anatomy & histology
Research News and Information
Definition of 'Basilar Membrane'A basement membrane in the cochlea that supports the hair cells of the ORGAN OF CORTI, consisting keratin-like fibrils. It stretches from the SPIRAL LAMINA to the basilar crest. The movement of fluid in the cochlea, induced by sound, causes displacement of the basilar membrane and subsequent stimulation of the attached hair cells which transform the mechanical signal into neural activity. Common names: Basilar Membrane; Basilar Membranes; Membrane, Basilar; Membranes, Basilar |

A computational model of human auditory signal processing and perception.
29 Jun 2008 
A model of computational auditory signal-processing and perception that accounts for various aspects of simultaneous and nonsimultaneous masking in human listeners is presented. The model is based on the modulation filterbank model described by Dau ... Read more...
Gerbil middle-ear sound transmission from 100 Hz to 60 kHz.
29 Jun 2008 Middle-ear sound transmission was evaluated as the middle-ear transfer admittance H(MY) (the ratio of stapes velocity to ear-canal sound pressure near the umbo) in gerbils during closed-field sound stimulation at frequencies from 0.1 to 60 kHz, a ... Read more...
30 May 2007 It is now undisputed that the best frequency (BF) of basal basilar-membrane (BM) sites shifts downwards as the stimulus level increases. The direction of the shift for apical sites is, by contrast, less well established. Auditory nerve studies ... Read more...
