Abstract

We used the bromodeoxyuridine technique to study the proliferative activity in the basilar papilla of normal and Belgian Waterslager canaries with and without preceding sound trauma. Without sound trauma, there were, on average, six supporting cell divisions per day in the basilar papilla of Waterslager canaries. This rate of supporting cell proliferation corresponds well with estimates of the ...
