Notes:
Summary Fast cochlear adaptation, expressed as percent inhibition of the summed action potential, is studied from the guinea pig cochlea responses to click trains, ramps, and steps in both directions. The transition time function of adaptation to constant click trains does not depend on click strength, but rather on click interval. On the background of steady state adaptation, click steps produce only transient changes of the adaptive state, opposite to step direction. Compared to constant train stimulation, adaptation is enhanced by descending click ramps, and diminished or reversed (near threshold) by ascending ramps.
