Molecular Mechanisms of Mechanoreceptor Adaptation

OP Hamill and DW, McBride Jr.

Mechanoreceptor adaptation to maintained stimulation serves to maximize dynamic sensitivity over a broad stimulus domain. Mechanosensitive channel currents in hair cells and oocytes show similar voltage-dependent adaptation. However, in the hair cell, adaptation appears dependent on Ca2+ influx, whereas in the oocyte, it is intrinsically voltage sensitive.
