The excitability of units in the central nucleus of the inferior colliculus to monaural electrical stimulation

This is an item from the Proceedings of the Australian Physiological and Pharmacological Society (1992), 23(2), published by Australian Physiological and Pharmacological Society. This version is reproduced with the permission of publisher.Single unit responses to electric stimuli can be markedly different to those obtained with comparable acoustic stimuli. For the development of future cochlear implant coding strategies a detailed understanding of the effects of electrical stimulation is required. This study investigated the comparative number of single units exhibiting excitatory responses in the central nucleus of the inferior colliculus to monaural electric versus acoustic stimuli
