Eminent morphometric analysis of cochlear nerve fibres by C Liberman and S Kostrikov. A modiolar-pillar length gradient in auditory nerve fibres between synapses and the spike generation zone. A possible contributor to the mind-bending dynamic range of hearing! www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
Auditory-nerve fibers (ANFs) from a given cochlear region can vary in threshold sensitivity by up to 60 dB, corresponding to a 1000-fold difference in…
