Abstract

Poststimulus time histograms (PSTHs) to clicks of standard level were measured in eighth-nerve fibres of normal-hearing guinea pigs. In the context of studying the fibres' contribution to the compound action potential (CAP), the PSTHs are described with the parameters latency (t_p), amplitude (A_p) and synchronization (S_p) of the dominant PSTH peak. These parameters are considered in relation to characteristic frequency (CF) and spontaneous rate (SR). An adequate description for t_p is one in which t_p is constant for non-phase-locking fibres (CF above 3 kHz) and it is an exponential function of CF for phase-following fibres. The low-SR fibres (SR below 5 spikes/s) had smaller amplitudes and longer latencies than the other ones. The variations of A _p with CF can be explained by the varying synchronization of the response.
