Biophysical properties of the IHCs recorded in whole-cell experiments under room and physiological temperature
22.8 ± 0.4°C | 37.3 ± 0.3°C | |
---|---|---|
Cm (pF) | 9.7 ± 0.2 | 9.0 ± 0.2 |
Iss(pA) | −12.8 ± 3.1 | −8.3 ± 1.2 |
Rs (MΩ) | 6.0 ± 0.1 | 5.4 ± 0.2 |
Vh(mV) | −37.2 ± 0.6 | −35.8 ± 0.4 |
k (mV) | 6.4 ± 0.1 | 6.5 ± 0.1 |
Iss is the steady-state current recorded at the holding potential (−87 mV). Vh and k are from fits using a first order Boltzmann equation times the driving force. n= 10, values are means ±s.e.m.
