Abstract
Using a model of spike generator mechanism (SGM) with a variable threshold we simulate the responses of utricular afferents to sinusoidal vibrations. It reproduces the phase locking characteristics (bifurcations diagrams) and the stimulus frequency firing rate relationships of different types of utricular afferents. We estimate the model parameters selecting the values which best fit the experimental results and we compare them with those from basic mechanisms involved in utricular codification.Mesh:
