Abstract
Appropriate stimulation of the ears of operatively exposed but otherwise normal fetal guinea pigs leads to the production of cochlear effects (Wever-Bray effects) at least as early as 52 post-insemination days. At this age, a cochlear response of 1-2 [mu]V peak was obtained to a stimulus of 600 c.p.s. and intensity 100 db. above the human threshold. Higher voltages were recorded from older fetuses, for example, 100 [mu]V at 62 post-insemination days.Keywords
