Re: Most apical inner hair cell

[Martin Braun <nombraun@xxxxxxxxx>]

Dear Robert and list,

The answer is "we don't know". The reason is that physiological experiments 
with a healthy human cochlea would not be acceptable.

So you might like to look for data from an animal that has a similar 
cochlear anatomy and a similar hearing range as humans. To my knowledge we 
do not have such data either. But maybe somebody else on this list can give 
a more definite answer.

Martin
