The third objective is to compare the variation in the Compound Action Current and Compound Action Potential as the parameters of the model are varied and to compare the Conduction Velocity Distributions predicted from these two signals recorded from nerve bundles with that predicted from histological examination. [7,8] They found that perfusion of air into the scala tympani resulted in a drastic decrease in the cochlear microphonics and in the amplitude of the compound action potential. |
