Abstract
⺠Outer sulcus root cells have morphological and functional features that show tonotopic variation. ⺠In low frequency coding regions they contact endolymph and likely absorb cations. ⺠In high frequency regions the basolateral membrane is specialized for K+ recirculation. ⺠Root cells may contribute to the cochlear response to stress. ⺠Root cell function may be adversely affected by numerous deafness gene mutations.
