Figure 2. Two-channel mechanism of hair cell inhibition.

Figure 2

A, the ionotropic α9α10-containing AChR allows calcium entry that opens nearby calcium-activated potassium channels. B, spontaneous synaptic current recorded from rat outer hair cell (membrane potential clamped at –60 mV). Biphasic waveform results from sequential gating of channels as shown in A (unpublished recording by M. Lioudyno).
