Synchronized Progression of Prestin Expression and Auditory Brainstem Response during Postnatal Development in Rats

Prestin is the motor protein expressed in the cochlear outer hair cells (OHCs) of mammalian inner ear. The electromotility of OHCs driven by prestin is responsible for the cochlear amplification which is required for normal hearing in adult animals. Postnatal expression of prestin and activity of OH...
