Single fiber recordings from the electrically stimulated auditory nerve yield post-stimulus time (PST) histograms demonstrating several response patterns. With pulsatile stimulation of the cochlea, the PST histografri for most fibers at threshold consists of a long-latency (500–800 μs), broad respon...
