Facilitation properties in electrically evoked compound action potentials depending on spatial location and on threshold.

Spiral ganglion neurons (SGNs) facilitation properties can be recorded utilizing electrically evoked compound action potential (ECAP). While intracochlear variation of the ECAP threshold in relation to its electrode channel is reported, no study investigated its impact on facilitation. In this study, we quantified intracochlear variation of the facilitation properties in cochlear implants (CI) using ECAPs.
