Effect of Temperature Change on Round-Window Response in the Hamster

Abstract

The APS Journal Legacy Content is the corpus of 100 years of historical scientific research from the American Physiological Society research journals. This package goes back to the first issue of each of the APS journals including the American Journal of Physiology, first published in 1898. The full text scanned images of the printed pages are easily searchable. Downloads quickly in PDF format.

Behavioral and Electrophysiological Responses Evoked by Chronic Infrared Neural Stimulation of the Cochlea

“…With chronic INS at higher repetition rates (here 200 Hz), which will be required for cochlear implants, it is possible that the transient temperature rise summed into a steady state temperature increase that damaged the cochlea. Damaging temperature changes induced by chronic INS would be reflected in the aABR thresholds [42], [43]. There was no indication that thermal tissue damage occurred.…”

Optical Parameter Variability in Laser Nerve Stimulation: A Study of Pulse Duration, Repetition Rate, and Wavelength

“…The CAP is a very sensitive marker for the physiological state of the cochlea, such as cochlear damage and changes in temperature [27], [28]. Acoustic tones activate a segment of neurons along the length of the cochlea and the CAP thresholds reflect the synchronous activation of neurons in this small cochlear segment.…”

Cochlear temperature correlates with both temporalis muscle and rectal temperatures. Application for testing the otoprotective effect of hypothermia

“…298C) is known to produce a reversible, temperaturedependent loss of cochlear sensitivity [6]. This hypothermia-induced loss of sensitivity is greater for auditory nerve than cochlear microphonic responses [18,19]. Induction of mild hypothermia (i.e.…”
