The electrical network model of the organ of Corti with dependent current sources instead of variable resistors [21, 212]. i r and i Q are the dependent current source for apical and basal surfaces, respectively. R 3 and C 3 model the apical resistance and capacitance. R 4 and C 4 model basolateral resistance and capacitance. V HB and V OHC are the potentials of apical and basal surface of the outer hair cell, respectively. The longitudinal electrical coupling is similar to Strelioff [202], as shown in Figure 28.
