Effects of Na salicylate on hair bundle movements. A, Membrane current and bundle movement for depolarization to +80 mV before applying Na salicylate. B, Membrane current and bundle movement for depolarization to +80 mV 9 min after starting perfusion with 10 mm Na salicylate. No recovery was obtained on return to control solution. Na salicylate blocks the somatic motor, as indicated by the disappearance of the nonlinear capacitance reflected by the current transients at the onset and termination of the voltage step. P11 rat, Cs₂SO₄ intracellular, maximum MET current of 0.40 nA.
