Hensen Cells
Hensen Cells (aka Inner Hair Cells) are specialized auditory neurons located in the inner ear, responsible for converting mechanical energy from sound waves into electrical signals that are sent to the brain. They are responsible for detecting, amplifying, and transmitting sound information to the central nervous system. Without them, sound information would not be registered at all. Hensen cells are essential for hearing and are key in the auditory system. They can be used in medical research to further understand the neural and acoustic mechanisms of hearing, as well as to develop new treatments and technologies to reduce hearing loss.
