Cochlear Fluid Spaces and Structures of the Gerbil High-Frequency Region Measured Using Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT)

Nam Hyun Cho et al.

Summary: Optical coherence tomography was used to obtain volumetric images of the gerbil cochlea, allowing for the segmentation and quantification of anatomical structures and fluid spaces of the organ of Corti. The study found that certain structures and fluid spaces in the cochlea undergo changes after a period of postmortem. Additionally, the study revealed that textbook drawings of the organ of Corti often fail to accurately depict its structures.

Stimulus-frequency otoacoustic emissions and middle-ear pressure gains in a finite-element mouse model

Hamid Motallebzadeh et al.

Summary: Using a fully coupled three-dimensional finite-element model of the mouse ear canal, middle ear, and cochlea, this study investigated the effects of different parameter changes on cochlear reflections and pressure gains, as well as how stimulation-frequency otoacoustic emissions are generated.

Contraction of the stapedius and tensor tympani muscles explored by tympanometry and pressure measurement in the external auditory canal

Philippe Fournier et al.

Summary: It is suggested that the contraction of tensor tympani muscle (TTM) may play a role in the development of ear-related pathologies. This study investigated the function of TTM and compared it with the stapedius muscle (SM) through middle ear admittance and air pressure measurements. The results indicate that TTM is involved in voluntary middle ear muscle contraction (vMEMC), while SM is involved in auditory stimulation-induced muscle contraction (sMEMC). These findings provide useful insights into the middle ear function.

Cochlear motion across the reticular lamina implies that it is not a stiff plate

Nam Hyun Cho et al.

Summary: This study used optical coherence tomography to measure the motion of outer hair cells in the cochlea and found that the gain of the third row near the pillar-cell heads was more than three times greater than that of the first row. This implies that the reticular lamina, composed of outer hair cells and supporting cells, is more flexible than the cells connected to its bottom surface, supporting a mosaic-like bending and stretching of the cochlear structure.

Effects of unilateral eye closure on middle ear muscle contractions

Stephen M. Tasko et al.

Summary: This study found a positive association between middle ear muscle activity and eye muscle activity. The occurrence rates of MEMCs during eye closure were generally higher than previously observed rates for high-level brief acoustic stimuli in the same participant group, suggesting that motor activity may be a more reliable elicitor of MEMCs than acoustic stimuli. These results indicate that motor activity can affect auditory exposure studies and complicate the interpretation of noise damage risk criteria that assume MEMCs serve as a consistent protective factor.

Summary: The study found that both visual and auditory signals undergo transformations, ultimately reaching the same final reference frame but via different dynamics across brain regions and time.

Time-domain and frequency-domain effects of tensor tympani contraction on middle ear sound transmission in gerbil

Liam Gallagher et al.

Summary: The study investigated the acoustic effects of the tensor tympani muscle contraction on middle ear vibrations in young adult gerbils. The results showed that the muscle contraction produced both enhancement and attenuation effects on the velocity responses, with a narrow band of enhancement around 6 kHz.
