Electrophysiology of the auditory system.

This review has attempted to summarise the properties of electro physiological responses in the auditory system. The treatment was broad and consequently somewhat sketchy. For a more detailed recent treatment of the physiology of the auditory system the reader is referred to Pickles (1982), Møller (1983), or Altschuller et al (1986). The data on acoustic injury have been reviewed recently by Schmiedt (1984). Discussions of a number of topics such as development, hair cell function and speech encoding are found in Berlin (1984).
