Cochlear Nerve Projections following Organ of Corti Destruction

Douglas B. Webster, Molly Webster

Open publisher page 28 citations

Abstract

Experimental organ of Corti destruction results in (1) secondary loss of all type I spiral ganglion neurons, (2) development of type III spiral ganglion neurons, (3) degeneration of most cochlear nerve myelinated fibers, and (4) terminal degeneration in the ventral and dorsal cochlear nuclei. The first signs of degenerative changes occur by eight days after organ of Corti destruction and degeneration debris remains until 28 weeks after destruction.
