Late onset of auditory deprivation does not affect brainstem auditory neuron soma size

Abstract

Neuronal soma sizes from normal mice, mice with conductive losses from 45 days, and avocal mice subjected to sound deprivation from 45 days, were studied at 90 days, revealing no significant differences between groups for cochlear nuclear globular cells, or cells of medial nucleus of trapezoid body or inferior colliculus.
