Effects of acute noise traumata on whole-nerve and single-unit activity
article
Some preliminary results of a research program on the effects of noise traumata on cochlear functioning are given. Measurements reported here include: the latency of the whole-nerve (compound) action potential (AP), the selectivity of frequency-tuning curves (e.g., the Q10-values) measured for the AP (with a forward-masking technique) and for single units in the antero-ventral cochlear nucleus (AVCN), the degree of phase-locking of the action potentials of these units to the stimulus waveform, and the phase of the stimulus waveform to which these potentials are locking. The noise traumata were induced during the experiments.
