Average current-clamp behaviors of enzymatically dissociated cells (□; n = 40) and hair cells in the semi-intact preparation (•; n = 50).A, Frequency–current relationships. Not all cells oscillated at every current amplitude tested. B, Voltage–current relationships. Membrane potential was measured either as the steady-state voltage at the end of the current step or, when the oscillations lasted for the duration of the step, as the average potential around which the cell oscillated. Both panels show mean ± SD.
