Figure 1

Digital image of the lower basal turn of a human cochlea after epoxy-embedding and surface preparation. The dashed white and black line indicates the OC, which was 10.44 mm long in this sector of the cochlea. The white dashed arrows indicate how measurements from radial sections were used in digital images to define the center of the SG. The inner white dashed line marks the approximate center of the SG (length, 6.11 mm in this segment). The solid white lines denote the trajectories of radial nerve fibers, as drawn to define a series of frequency-matched points on the OC and SG.
