Abstract:
Nine cats were prepared for the recording of potentials in three brain sites
evoked by acoustic and microwave stimuli. Loci in which potentials were observed were
eighth cranial nerve, medial geniculate nucleus and primary auditory cortex. The
effect of cochlear disablement on these potentials was evaluated. Potentials at all
sites were abolished by cochlear damage. There were no differences between acoustic
and microwave stimuli in this regard. Data are interpreted as supporting the
contention that the microwave auditory effect is mediated at the periphery as are the
effects of conventional acoustic stimuli.
