The Development of Cochlear Function

  • Chapter
Development of the Auditory System

Part of the book series: Springer Handbook of Auditory Research ((SHAR,volume 9))

Abstract

The cochlea is the window through which the central auditory system views its acoustic environment. The transduction of air borne sound by the hair cells and the neural encoding at the periphery place constraints on the acoustic features that are available for further processing by auditory neurons in the brain. At birth, the cochlea in most altricial mammals is still very immature. It is effectively unresponsive to sound and generates little sustained (spontaneous) activity. During the first month after the onset of hearing, significant changes occur in cochlear functioning, changes that are reflected in both the overall level and spatiotemporal pattern of nerve impulses that are transmitted centrally over the auditory nerve. The task of determining the extent to which maturational changes in auditory perception, spontaneous activity, and central responses to sound originate within the cochlea and to what degree these changes reflect the development of central synaptic processes remains a formidable challenge.
