    Neuroreport 21:324-7. 2010

    Neurobiological Research Laboratory, Killianstr 5, D 79106 Freiburg, Germany
    Exp Neurol 208:193-206. 2007
    ..The pattern of IEG expression caused by unilateral EIS led us to suggest that dominant sensory activity may quickly initiate a facilitation of central pathways serving the active ear at the expense of those serving the unstimulated ear...

    Brain Res 1435:40-55. 2012
    ..When hearing fails, EIS entails expression of c-Fos in populations of neurons that are much larger than normally, essentially disregard tonotopic order, and lack much of spatio-temporal variations seen in hearing-experienced rats...
