Figure 1. Cochlear Schematic.

Figure 1

(A) A schematic cross section of a right cochlea, with an indenter probe entering the scala tympani approximately 90 degrees along the basal turn. The schematic in the foreground shows the inter-scalar partition (black arrow) exposed from below (bone underlying ST has been drilled away) and above (removal of bone overlying the SV is shown). LCW – lateral cochlear wall. (B) Orientation of cochlear specimen used during experimentation, which is upside-down (flipped 180 degrees) from anatomic orientation, such that ST is above SV.
