A method of studying the innervation inside the organ of Corti is presented. Rabbits, guinea pigs and chinchillas were fixed with perfusion of the perilymphatic spaces. The cochleas were dissected according to the surface specimen technique and the specimens critical point dried, coated with gold and studied in the SEM. The final dissection into the planes of the fluid spaces of the organ of Corti was done in the dry state using especially sharpened watch makers forceps and razor blade knives. The course of the afferent and efferent innervation is described and differences between the species illustrated. Small high nerve endings on the outer hair cell degenerate after cutting the efferent nerve supply by dividing the vestibular nerve indicating their efferent nature.
本文介绍了一种研究柯蒂氏器内部神经支配的方法。用外淋巴间隙灌注法固定家兔、豚鼠和毛丝鼠。按照表面标本技术解剖耳蜗，标本经临界点干燥、镀金后在扫描电子显微镜下观察。在干燥状态下，使用特别磨尖的钟表匠镊子和剃须刀片将柯蒂氏器的液腔平面进行最终解剖。描述了传入和传出神经支配的路径，并说明了不同物种之间的差异。切断前庭神经以切断传出神经供应后，外毛细胞上的小而高的神经末梢退化，表明它们具有传出性质。
