Long-Term Impairment of Sound Processing in the Auditory Midbrain by Daily Short-Term Exposure to Moderate Noise

Figure 5

Comparison of latencies of IC neurons from exposed mice (filled circles and triangles) and their age-matched unexposed control (unfilled circles and triangles) measured immediately after (a, c, and e) or at 12 weeks after cessation of noise exposure (b, d, and f). The averaged latency from exposed mice was normalized on that from unexposed control after averaging at different sound stimulus levels. Bars on and under circles show the standard deviation. , , Student’s t-test.
