| Abstract | Spontaneous otoacoustic emissions (SOAEs) are accepted as being indicators of an active process in the inner ear and have been observed in all groups of land vertebrates. Previous studies have indicated that there may be more than one cellular substrate driving the active processes in different groups of vertebrates. To investigate the cellular substrate in non-mammals and to relate the findings to studies in mammalian ears, we injected AC and DC currents of amplitudes generally below 5 microA into scala media of the bobtail skink Tiliqua rugosa and recorded their influences on SOAEs. Injected AC current has been shown previously to induce emissions [electrically induced otoacoustic emissions (EEOAEs)] in mammals and lizards. AC current in the appropriate frequency range entrained SOAEs but was relatively ineffective at increasing their magnitude compared with the dependence on current strength of EEOAEs generated at non-SOAE frequencies. The effects of DC current were polarity-dependent and changed over time with prolonged stimulation. Whereas positive current caused a small increase in SOAE frequency and a fall in magnitudes, negative DC current induced a decrease in SOAE frequency of more than 30%, accompanied by changes in level that were strongly time-dependent. All changes were slowly reversible. The effects observed in this species of lizard strongly resemble those observed in frogs and chinchillas. The similarity is interesting in view of the putatively different cellular mechanisms driving the active process in mammals and non-mammals. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
