Figure Legend Snippet: Dissection of the mouse cochlea. (a) Schematic of the cochlea after dissection. An opening overlying the basal turn of the cochlea (i.e., near the stapes and round window) is shown in this example. (b) Schematic of a cross section of one turn of the cochlea. (c) The entire temporal bone, which contains the cochlea, is shown submerged in extracellular solution after removal from the skull, as visualized through the dissecting microscope. The round window, oval window, and stapes can be seen. The scale bar is 1 mm. (d) The cochlea has been glued upright into a recording chamber, so that only the cochlea (white area to the left of the oval and round windows) is visible. Particular care needs to be taken to leave the round window, oval window, and stapes unencumbered by glue. The scale bar is 1 mm. (e) The apical turn of the cochlea has been opened. This permits visualization of the cochlear epithelium where the hair cells are located (curved dark area at tip of arrow). About one third to one half of a cochlea turn can be opened. The scale bar is 0.5 mm.

Figure Legend Snippet: Schematic diagram of the experiment setup. The size of the cochlea is exaggerated for clarity. In this diagram, the opening in the cochlea is shown overlying the basal turn. (b) Image of the preparation taken through the experimental microscope with the tip of the piezoactuator in contact with the stapes. The opening of the cochlea was over the apical turn in this example. The scale bar is 1 mm.
