dc.description.abstract | The mole rat ( Spalax ehrenbergi ) burrows throughout its life in subterranean tunnels. Several structural and functional features which adapt the mole rat to its habitat have been discerned. The goal of this study was to elucidate the structural basis for adaptation of the auditory end-organ to an environment where low-frequency acoustical signals prevail. For this purpose, cochleae of adult mole rats were studied with light and electron microscopy. Inner hair cells throughout the cochlea, and outer hair cells in the basal (high-frequency) portion of the cochlea, were similar in structure to those seen in other mammals. In contrast, outer hair cells in the apical (low-frequency) portion displayed unique structural features. These features resembled the structure of inner hair cells or immature outer hair cells. The innervation of outer hair cells was most uncommon, in that classical medial efferent innervation was not found throughout the cochlear spiral. | en_US |
