Abstract
Spatial origins of compound action potential responses to varying stimulation rates, frequencies, and levels were investigated. A technique to measure the regions in the cochlea generating each response in which a neurotoxic drug (kainic acid) is slowly injected into the cochlear apex was used. This induces a progressive ablation of responses from apex (low frequency) to base (high frequency), allowing the spatial origins of cochlear responses to be quantified.
