Abstract

HABITUATION of the electrophysiological response in the cochlear nucleus (CN) to repetitive auditory stimuli has been reported by a number of workers1–3. Similar decrements were not obtained in a more recent study4. Marsh et al.5, while reporting a decrement in the CN response, have shown increased responses to repetitive stimulation in the inferior colliculus (IC) and the medial geniculate (MG).
