We studied the dynamics of maturation of the hearing function by records of short-term latent brainstem evoked potentials and the effect of amikacin on maturation of the hearing function. The peripheral compartment of the auditory analyzer matures sooner than the central structures. Amikacin in therapeutic doses exhibited an ototoxic effect on the peripheral compartment of the auditory analyzer without impairing its central structures.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
