Effects of Hyperbilirubinemia on the Hearing and Vocal Development in Gunn Rats
Martin L. Lenhardt, PhD
Arch Otolaryngol. 1982;108(6):339-342.
Abstract
Jaundiced rats do not differ from normal rats in the development of frequency-specific startle responses to sound in spite of the auditory brainstem damage in the affected rats. Jaundiced rats do show a vocal motor abnormality. Behavioral auditory results support the concept of neural involvement in early vocal development; however, the site of involvement in hearing development is still ambiguous.
