One area of research in the Kim Auditory Neuroscience Laboratory is a combined physiological and anatomical study of the cochlear nucleus and other auditory structures in the brain stem. In the physiological experiments, action potentials of single neurons are recorded with microelectrodes in the cat or mouse using a computerized system for controlling stimulus delivery and for acquiring response data.
