Enhancement of cortical plasticity by behavioral training in acetylcholine-depleted adult rats.

abstract：:1. The antidromic compound action potential (ACAP) of the auditory nerve was evoked by shocks to the auditory nerve root and recorded at the round window of the cochlea in anesthetized guinea pigs. The goal of this study was to determine the characteristics of the ACAP and compare these characteristics with those of t...
