[Electrical responses recorded from the round window of the cat cochlea].

The parameters of the cochlear round window responses to stimulation by acoustic clicks of different intensity, polarity and frequency were studied in experiments on anesthetized cats. The intensity function reflecting the dependence of the amplitude of potential change upon the level of stimulating click included two parts differing in slope. The dependence of the electric responses on the stimulus intensity and frequency was also studied. A specific form of the reaction was found in some cases. The study of all these parameters gives us some reasons to make a conclusion on the function of the auditory nerve.
