    Abstract
    This study has shown that 1) the ratio of excitatory and inhibitory inputs to units in the central nucleus of the inferior colliculus is altered when one cochlea is neomycin-deafened and/or electrically stimulated; 2) prestimulus threshold shift and lateral inhibition mechanisms can be used to explain these results; and 3) at high current levels a leakage current into the modiolus can evoke unit population responses.
