Vestibular Tuning Spectrum
摘要
The vestibular component of the labyrinth is phylogenetically older than the auditory component (Manley GA, Koppl C, Curr Opin Neurobiol, 8(4):468–474, 1998). The auditory component’s cochlea evolved a highly developed frequency discriminating capability for detecting and analyzing acoustic stimuli. The vestibular component of the labyrinth also has a frequency discriminating capability, although it is less well-developed than the auditory component in this regard.
