Abstract:
:In previous studies describing the effects of electrically stimulating the olivocochlear bundle, it seems possible that both medial and lateral (MOC and LOC) efferents may have been stimulated. To selectively stimulate MOC efferents, we used an electrode placed at the origin of the MOC efferents in the brainstem (MOC stimulation). For comparison, a stimulating electrode was placed in the fourth ventricle at the decussation of the crossed olivocochlear bundle where both MOC and LOC efferents are present (midline-OCB stimulation). Rate versus sound level functions from auditory-nerve fibers were obtained with and without efferent stimulation. Stimulation at either location shifted rate vs. level functions to higher sound levels and depressed the rate in the plateau. For fibers with high spontaneous rates, the level shifts and plateau depressions had slightly different distributions as a function of characteristic frequency. The average amplitudes of these effects were largest for midline-OCB stimulation, next largest for crossed MOC stimulation and smallest for uncrossed MOC stimulation. The qualitative pattern of the effects, however, did not depend on the location of the stimulus electrode. The amplitudes of the efferent-induced effects were different for auditory-nerve fibers with different spontaneous rates (by as much as a factor of three for the plateau depression). The results support several hypotheses: (1) the effects of midline-OCB stimulation are due only to the action of MOC efferents, (2) individual crossed and uncrossed MOC fibers produce similar effects, and (3) efferents differentially change the information carrying properties of auditory-nerve fibers in different spontaneous-rate categories. These results, taken together with anatomical data in the literature, are consistent with the hypothesis that, in the cat, MOC and midline-OCB stimulation have their effect solely through synapses on outer hair cells. The data are consistent with the hypothesis that the level shifts are produced by MOC efferents acting on outer hair cells to reduce the mechanical stimulus to inner hair cells. It seems likely that some other mechanism is required to produce the plateau depressions, at least for auditory-nerve fibers with high spontaneous rates.
