Abstract:Monkeys were implanted with permanent recording electrodes having tips placed in the auditory nerve-cochlear nucleus region. AP input-output relationships and VDLs were obtained from computer-averaged evoked responses to pure-tone pulses and selected monosyllabic words before and after five consecutive daily 15-min exposures to 115 dB SPL of steady broad-band noise. Threshold shifts and sustained reduction in AP amplitudes occurred at higher frequencies. Response patterns evoked by speech appeared coded in the… Show more
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.
