    Electrophonically driven single unit responses of the anteroventral cochlear nucleus in cat [Abstract]
    Morrison, N. A. ; Brown, M. ; Clark, Graeme M. ( 1996)
    Electrical stimulation of the cochlea results in both direct and electrophonic excitation of auditory nerve fibres. It has been proposed that electrophonic stimulation results from the creation of a mechanical disturbance on the basilar membrane which has properties similar those resulting from acoustic stimuli. Auditory nerve compound action potential (CAP) forward masking studies1 show the level of frequency specific electrophonic stimulation is highly correlated with the spectral energy of the electrical stimulus waveform. The level of spectral energy in pulsatile biphasic electrical stimuli decreases toward low frequencies suggesting the level of electrophonic stimulation will be diminished in the low frequency region of the cochlea.

    Effects of chronic electrical stimulation on cochlear nuclear neuron size in deaf kittens [Abstract]
    Kawano, Atsushi ; Seldon, H. Lee ; Clark, Graeme M. ; Kakuhisa, Eiji ; Funasaka, Sotaro ( 1996)
    It is now well recognized that normal afferent innervation is necessary for the development. This study investigated the effect of chronic electrical stimulation of the auditory nerve on the maturation of cochlear nucleus soma area of the neonatally deafened kittens. Eight kittens were deafened using kanamycin and ethacrynic acid, received a stimulated intracochlear implant in the left side and a dummy implant in right side, and classified two groups - the stimulated and the control group.
