Across
- 4. Excitation of the inner hair cells occurs primarily as a result of this effect on the cilia
- 7. This is lateral to the belt and makes up the third level of processing of the input auditory signal at the reception area
- 9. In this type of response, there is an initial response to the start of a stimulus followed by silence
- 10. of Corti, This separates the outer and inner hair cells
- 12. Resistance to the flow of energy
- 13. membrane, This marks the boundary between the outer and middle ear
- 16. The rate of firing increases because this increases
- 18. cortex, This receives input primarily from the contralateral ear via the ipsilateral MGB
- 19. This type of response does not seem to be related to stimulus frequency, but appear to have a periodic, chopped temporal pattern as long as a tone is present
- 20. These neurons slowly increase their firing rate through the initial stages of firing
Down
- 1. The “stirrup;” one of the bones of the ear
- 2. of light, This area that reflects the lights of an audiologist’s otoscope
- 3. The bones of the ear are collectively known as this
- 5. Inflammation of the mastoid bone
- 6. ear, Houses the sensors for balance and hearing
- 8. colliculus, This receives bilateral innervation from the LSO, as well as indirect input from the CN via the lateral lemniscus
- 11. These take longer to respond than other neurons, having an initial on-response for strong stimuli
- 14. The entrance to the ear canal
- 15. The curled margin of the pinna
- 17. A device used to view cavities of the body
