Abstract
A reticular stimulation producing a powerful arousal reaction decreases the potential in the cochlear nucleus evoked by a click. This reduction results from the contraction of the middle ear muscles, which lessens the pressure transmitted to the cochlea, and is not due to a direct neural inhibitory effect at the level of the first synapse of the auditory pathway.Keywords: BRAIN STEM/physiology; COCHLEAR NERVE/physiology; EAR, MIDDLE/physiology
