  • Title: Activation of the auditory cortex by cochlear stimulation in a deaf patient.
    Author: Pelizzone M, Hari R, Mäkelä J, Kaukoranta E, Montandon P.
    Journal: Neurosci Lett; 1986 Jul 24; 68(2):192-6. PubMed ID: 3755811.
    Abstract:
    We have recorded cerebral electric and magnetic responses to electric stimulation of the auditory nerve in a deaf patient with multichannel cochlear prosthesis. The electric response peaked with a vertex-negative deflection at 65 ms. Clear magnetic responses, coinciding with the vertex potential, were obtained only over the hemisphere ipsilateral to the stimulation; the field pattern indicated activation of the auditory cortex within the Sylvian fissure. The results suggest modification of the central auditory pathways in this patient deaf from early childhood.
