| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We have developed an imaging system that can detect the object’s nano-scale vibrations. In addition, we succeeded to record a baseline shift of the vibration by a newly derived laser interferometer. Based on the recorded data, we hypothesized that the vibrations depend on the hair cells’ function, and performed mathematical simulation of the sensory epithelia. Lastly, we confirmed the hypothesis by the experiments in which we used animals and applied some drugs in vivo. These results not only show the new mechanism for the vibration of the sensory epithelia, but also found that the mechanism are related to the hari cells’ function for the first time.
