Consequences of Location-Dependent Organ of Corti Micro-Mechanics

Relative motion between OCC structures.
(A) Tone responses of the BM, TM and hair bundle (HB) at the base (17.5 kHz), middle (4.4 kHz) and apex (0.8 kHz). Top: displacement gain re. stapes. Bottom: phase re. stapes. (B) Responses in (A) plotted with respect to the BM—the TM and hair bundle displacement were normalized with the BM displacement; their phase with respect to the BM. (C) Relative responses of the TM and hair bundle re. BM at best frequencies. Broken curves are passive responses.
