Abstract

The visco-elastic properties of the tectorial membrane (TM) can be determined by measuring the propagation velocity of travelling waves over a range of frequencies. This study presents a new method using laser interferometry and compares the TM's material properties (sheer storage modulus, G ^′ and viscosity, η) at basal and apical locations in wild-type mice and basal locations of three mutant groups (Tecta ^Y1870C/+ , Tectb ^-/- and Otoa ^-/- ). The G ^′ and η values calculated for the wild-type mice are similar to estimates derived using other methods whereas the mutant groups all exhibit slower wave propagation velocities and reduced longitudinal coupling.
