Abstract: | Interspike interval histograms of spontaneous and stimulated activity were computed from spike discharges of single units in the cochlear nucleus. These histograms indicate that a number of different types of spontaneous discharge patterns exist in the nucleus. The type of spontaneous activity of a given unit is related to its activity in response to continuous tones. Correlations were found between the discharge patterns of units and their anatomical locations within the nucleus. |
