  • Title: Auditory brainstem responses in the aged cat.
    Author: Harrison J, Buchwald J.
    Journal: Neurobiol Aging; 1982; 3(3):163-71. PubMed ID: 6298646.
    Abstract:
    Auditory brainstem responses (ABRs) were compared in young adult and aged cats. Mean thresholds for click-evoked ABRs were greater in the aged cats. Clicks normalized to 15 and 30 dB above individual thresholds at rates of 10, 20, 50 and 100/sec evoked ABRs with similar latencies and central conduction times in both groups. Background noise at equal intensity for all cats completely suppressed ABRs evoked by clicks 30 dB above threshold in 2/3 of the young but none of the old cats. As rise time of a 25 msec noise burst at equal intensity for all cats increased 1, 2, 5, and 10 msec, latency of wave 4 increased more for the old cats than for the young. Summed monaural ABRs from both ears were greater than binaural ABRs for waves 4 and 5 in both groups. These data indicate peripheral auditory dysfunction in aged cats but little abnormality in auditory brainstem transmission with click intensity normalized for ABR threshold.
