Cochlear responses to condensation and rarefaction clicks.

Auditory nerve responses to condensation and rarefaction clicks (CC and RC) have been recorded over a wide intensity range with gross electrodes. At low intensities the RC responses are nearly identical to CC responses. At high intensities RC and CC response waveforms are similar, but the latency of the N(1) peak in the RC response is 0.2 msec. shorter than that for the corresponding CC response. At intermediate intensities the RC and CC response waveforms are quite different. These results can be interpreted in terms of a model in which there are two excitatory mechanisms for the neural response, which are operative in different intensity ranges. The cochlear microphonic potential and a "slow" potential are suggested as possible excitatory mechanisms.

Some quantitative methods for the study of spontaneous activity of single neurons.

Four different illustrative examples of single unit data from the cochlear nucleus of anesthetized cats are presented. The spontaneous activity of each of these four units can be quantitatively described by the histogram of interspike intervals and by other related measurements. Several descriptive models are suggested by these measurements.
