In many instances, in which the graft was proved microscopically to have actually grown in its new position, there was a striking increase in the functional ability of the treated ear over that of the normal ear. Such measurements were made by estimation of changes in electrical potential in the auditory nerve after acoustic stimulation of the animal's ear. The technical details of the method will be found in the articles mentioned.

These observations have been confirmed repeatedly, and the phenomenon, whatever . . . [Full Text PDF of this Article]
