Publisher Summary

This chapter discusses the pharmacology of peripheral auditory processes; cochlear pharmacology. Pharmacology has much to gain from and much to give to the study of audition. There is to be gained the enhanced stature from the development of new regions of interest; there is also to be gained the recognition and esteem of a segment of biological scientists whose hitherto unsolved problems may finally yield to pharmacological examination. Another aspect of audition which may prove fruitful for pharmacologists involves the use of auditory physiological preparations as models by which other sensory or homeostatic processes may be studied. For example, pharmacological studies with the olivocochlear or the cochleoinhibitory tract could illuminate inhibitory processes in other areas such as the spinal cord. Central inhibitory processes share sensitivity to strychnine.
