Optical Coherence Tomography to Measure Sound-Induced Motions Within the Mouse Organ of Corti In Vivo. Methods in molecular biology (Clifton, N.J.) Jawadi, Z., Applegate, B. E., Oghalai, J. S. 2016; 1427: 449-462

Abstract

The measurement of mechanical vibrations within the living cochlea is critical to understanding the first nonlinear steps in auditory processing, hair cell stimulation, and cochlear amplification. However, it has proven to be a challenging endeavor. This chapter describes how optical coherence tomography (OCT) can be used to measure vibrations within the tissues of the organ of Corti. These experimental measurements can be performed within the unopened cochlea of living mice routinely and reliably.
