Abstract
The difference between the percentages of innervation by afferent cochlear nerve fibers to the inner and outer hair cells, as described by Speondlin, has certainly provided a major impetus for identification of electrophysiological correlates. While it is true that Kiang (1965), in his study of cochlear nerve discharge patterns and properties, did not identify two different types of cochlear neurons, subsequent reports have (e.g. Pfeiffer and Kim, 1972a, 1972b).
