Fos immunoreactive (IR) staining was used to examine changes in excitatory neuronal activity in the rat inferior colliculus (IC) between normal hearing and 21 day deaf rats evoked by basal or apical monopolar cochlear electrical stimulation. The location of evoked Fos IR neurons was consistent with expected tonotopic areas. The number of Fos IR cells increased as stimulation intensity increased in both normal and 21 day deaf animals. Stimulation at 1. 5x threshold evoked fewer Fos IR cells in 21 day deafened animals compared to normal hearing animals. At 5x and above, however, significantly increased numbers of Fos IR neurons (in a larger grouping) were evoked in 21 day deafened animals compared to normal hearing animals. Another group of animals had 7 days of deafness followed by 14 days of chronic basal cochlear electrical stimulation. In this group basal monopolar stimulation at 5x evoked not only a greater number of Fos IR neurons, compared to normal hearing animals, but the location of their grouping was slightly shifted to a more dorso-lateral region in the contralateral IC, compared to the normal hearing and 21 day deaf groups. These observations indicate that both deafness and chronic electrical stimulation may alter central auditory processing.
