ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
To study the effects of electrical stimulation on cortical activation patterns. MATERIALS ANDMETHODS:
Optical imaging of auditory cortex in cats that are acutely and chronically electrically stimulated with cochlear implants.RESULTS:
Chronic electrical stimulation results in expansion of cortical territory and overlap.CONCLUSION:
Effects of chronic electrical stimulation are comparable to use-dependent cortical plastic reorganization.
