Across
  1. 1. ABR and ECochG are AERs of this origin
  2. 4. these filters remove lower frequencies from the recording
  3. 8. these cells in the auditory cortex have large apical (top) dendrites that are oriented perpendicularly to the surface of the brain (but are parallel to eachother)
  4. 11. this nerve connects to the hair cells at the base and travels through the habenula perforate to the modiolus; cell bodies form the spiral ganglion
  5. 15. function of the amplifier; key in enhancing the signal; electrical activity that is the same at each is eliminated or rejected
  6. 17. attaching an electrode to the skin generates this, which adds to the noise from which the EP is extracted
  7. 18. presence of acoustic stimulus evokes a change in the electrical current flowing through cells
  8. 21. the time period after presentation of each stimulus during which an AER is collected
  9. 22. the passive transmission of electric fields through biological issue from an underlying electrical current generator
  10. 26. these hair cells are about sensory; primarily drive spiral ganglion fibers
  11. 29. a step-like, direct current voltage that closely follows stimulus in time
  12. 30. the sampling rate or frequency must be at least 2x the highest frequency within the signal spectrum
  13. 33. these hair cells are about movement and amplification
  14. 35. configuration with positive and negative voltage separated by space
  15. 36. voltages spread through the brain by this kind of conduction
  16. 37. stimulus designed to compensate for the traveling wave delay
  17. 38. driven by shearing of stereocilia (primarily OHC and little IHC)
Down
  1. 2. this type of potential originates from the spiral ganglion cells of the auditory nerve, does not mimic stimulus of follow envelope like CM & SP
  2. 3. changes in membrane potential of axons that last typically about 1 ms
  3. 5. diaphragm inward, negative pressure wave, pulls out on the stapes footplate, basilar membrane moves upward
  4. 6. carries neurons from the PVCN to the contralateral CN and to the SOC
  5. 7. the rise time+plateau time+fall time
  6. 9. carries neurons from the AVCN to the ipsilateral and contralateral medial superior olive (MSO) and lateral superior olive (LSO)
  7. 10. MLR, ALR, and P300 are AERs of this origin
  8. 12. stimulus with abrupt onset with brief duration
  9. 13. carries neurons from the DCN to contra IC bypassing the SOC
  10. 14. these filters remove higher frequencies from the recording
  11. 16. a measurable activity following an applied stimulus; response versus potential
  12. 19. fast voltage changes (action potentials or spikes) that travel along the cell's axons (nerve fibers)
  13. 20. stimulus with 4-5 cycles of pure tone signals
  14. 23. slow localized membrane voltage changes resulting from communication between nerve cells (postsynaptic potentials)
  15. 24. carries the PVCN neurons through the LL to terminate in the IC
  16. 25. these are generators, not nuclei
  17. 27. changes in EEG that are time-locked to changes in acoustic stimulus
  18. 28. continuous electrical activity in the brain reflecting its state
  19. 31. diaphragm outward, positive pressure wave, pushes in on the stapes footplate, deflects BM downward
  20. 32. changes lasting about 10-15 ms
  21. 34. changing electrical charge that looks like a sinusoidal wave
