Abstract
Summary
Stimulation of cutaneous nerves and of the cochlea evokes characteristic potentials in the inferior colliculus. With micro-electrode recording, the activity of individual cells may be observed. Placing the cutaneous stimulation before the auditory stimulation demonstrates a conditioning of the auditory potential which decreases the number of cells fired and shortens the train of impulses from those cells left active.
