Impact of morphometry, myelinization and synaptic current strength on spike conduction in human and cat spiral ganglion neurons.

<h4>Background</h4>Our knowledge about the neural code in the auditory nerve is based to a large extent on experiments on cats. Several anatomical differences between auditory neurons in human and cat are expected to lead to functional differences in speed and safety of spike conduction....
