    Reduction in excitability of the auditory nerve in guinea pigs following acute high rate electrical stimulation [Abstract]
    Huang, C. Q. ; Shepherd, R. K. ; Seligman, P. M. ; Clark, Graeme M. ( 1996)
    Electrical stimulation of neural tissue involves the transfer of charge to tissue via electrodes. Safe charge transfer can be achieved using biphasic current pulses designed to reduce the generation of direct current (DC) or the production of electrochemical products. However, neural stimulators must also use capacitors in series with electrodes, or electrode shorting between current pulses, to further minimize DC due to electrode polarization.

    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.
