Physiological properties of the electrically stimulated auditory nerve. I: Compound action potential recordings

摘要: Abstract The electrically evoked compound action potential (CAP) of the auditory nerve exhibits two peaks, termed N 0 , at 350 μs latency, and 1 550 latency. At low stimulus intensities CAP consists solely long latency peak. As strength is increased higher threshold appears. high disappears only component remains. It postulated that represents potentials propagated from dendritic processes neurons initiated on axons these cells. peak anomalous refractory behavior which can be identified in brainstem response (EABR). That may useful diagnostically assessing extent dendrite degeneration cochlear implant candidates users.
