The Influence of Cochlear Implant-Based Electric Stimulation on the Electrophysiological Characteristics of Cultured Spiral Ganglion Neurons.

Our study suggests cochlear implant-based electrical stimulation only significantly inhibit the I Ca of cultured SGNs but has no effect on the firing of AP, and the relation of I Ca inhibition and SGN damage induced by electrical stimulation and its mechanism needs to be further studied.
