Is a cochlear hair cell a neuron or not? I've seen it categorised
both ways.
Is it a matter of preference? Has it changed as more is learned about
the hair cell.
It does have some computing power having synamptic and gate inputs.
What's the output? is it a variable release of neurotransmitter
depending on incoming signal, or is it like the release from a
presynaptic membrane?
Thanks
Tony
