Complex primary afferents: What the distribution of electrophysiologically-relevant phenotypes within the spiral ganglion tells us about peripheral neural coding.

Abstract excerpt

Spiral ganglion neurons are the first neural element of the auditory system. They receive precise synaptic signals which represent features of sound stimuli encoded by hair cell receptors and they deliver a digital representation of this information to the central nervous system. It is well known that spiral ganglion neurons are selectively responsive to specific sound frequencies, and that numerous structural...
