Degeneration in brainstem auditory nuclei was studied in monkeys following chronic implantation with scala tympani multielectrode systems. Nauta and Fink/Heimer-stained material from animals with survival times to 16 months were studied. The density and distribution of degeneration in the cochlear nuclei were consistent with observed patterns of spiral ganglion cell degeneration. Transneuronal degeneration was seen up to the level of the inferior colliculus. The density and form of the degeneration material in animals of varying survival times was consistent with the interpretation that a process of continuing degeneration occurred in these implanted ears.
在猴子慢性植入鼓阶多电极系统后，对其脑干听觉核的退变情况进行了研究。对存活时间长达16个月的动物的Nauta染色和Fink/Heimer染色材料进行了研究。耳蜗核中退变的密度和分布与观察到的螺旋神经节细胞退变模式一致。跨神经元退变一直到下丘水平都可见到。不同存活时间动物退变材料的密度和形态与以下解释一致，即在这些植入耳中发生了持续退变的过程。
