    Abstract
    The orderly tonotopic representation of the cochlea is accurately reproduced within the central auditory system of normal hearing animals. Any degradation of this representation as a result of a neonatal hearing loss or chronic electrical stimulation during development could have important implications for the use of multichannel cochlear implants in young children. In the present study we have used 2-deoxyglucose autoradiography (2-00) to examine the topographic representation of the cochlea within the inferior colliculus (IC) of neonatally deafened kittens following periods of chronic intracochlear electrical stimulation.
