摘要

A numerical experiment was conducted to determine the spectral sensitivity and selectivity of the cellular components of the utricle and saccule of a laboratory animal (rat) to a periodic electrical stimulation. Equivalent electrical circuit of otolith replacement was used. Its parameters were determined from the anatomical structure and from the measured specific characteristics of cellular elements taking into account the changing ionic conductivity. It was found that the frequency dependence of the impedance and the spectral sensitivity of the cell elements for the utricle and saccule have a resonant nature. The obtained data about the mechanisms of electrical stimulation of hair cells, their spectral sensitivity, and frequency selectivity can serve as the basis for choosing the optimal mode of electrical stimulation in a vestibular implant.
