The Time Course of the Amplitude and Latency in the Auditory Late Response Evoked by Repeated Tone Bursts

Abstract

The reduction of latency in the time course of the ALR might be related to the fact that neurons with shorter latencies had faster recovery speed from adaptation and/or refractoriness than those with longer latencies. This finding is meaningful in the context of future research to restore normal adaptation in abnormal hearing populations such as cochlear implant patients.
