Analysis of the Multisensory Interaction in Neurons of the Cochlear Nuclei,
Abstract
The responses of 104 neurons in the dorsal and posterior ventral cochlear nuclei to external stimuli were studied in cats under chloralose anesthesia. Of the 48% responsive neurons, 45% reacted to acoustic stimuli, 7% were monomodal, and 3% reacted only to photic stimuli (2%) or only to somatosensory stimuli and 29% to light flashes. The lack of correlation between the inhibition period of the neuron and the phases of focal evoked potential shows that the inhibitory synaptic inflow takes place at a distance from the neuron body under the action of both acoustic and photic stimuli and somatosensory stimuli.
