Calcium induced calcium release during action potential firing in developing inner hair cells

In the mature auditory system inner hair cells (IHCs) convert sound induced vibrations into electrical signals that are relayed to the CNS via auditory afferents. Before the cochlea can respond to normal sound levels, developing IHCs fire calcium based action potentials that disappear close to the o...
