| 21. | Cochlear implants convert speech and other sounds into electrical signals and transmit them to auditory nerve fibers.
|
| 22. | The electrode wires then stimulate the auditory nerve, which carries signals to the brain for interpreting sound.
|
| 23. | Another bit of evidence came from patients who had their auditory nerve removed because it was cancerous.
|
| 24. | The orderly innervation by auditory nerve fibers gives the AVCN a tonotopic organization along the dorso-ventral axis.
|
| 25. | These people have their auditory nerve severed, so the ear is no longer connected to the brain,
|
| 26. | In contrast to hearing aids, which amplify sound, cochlear implants are designed to stimulate the auditory nerve.
|
| 27. | The auditory nerve, also called the cochlear nerve, then transmits action potentials to the central auditory nervous system.
|
| 28. | The axons of the auditory nerve originate from the hair cells of the cochlea in the inner ear.
|
| 29. | These studies have measured the output of the auditory nerve ( AN ), with and without OCB stimulation.
|
| 30. | They reflect neuronal activity in the auditory nerve, cochlear nucleus, superior olive, and inferior colliculus of the brainstem.
