Abstract :
The level of lateral inhibition produced in ICC units by high and low pulse rate electrical stimulation appears significantly different. It is argued this difference is a consequence of, one, the increased range of SR response seen with high pulse rate stimulation and, two, the markedly different SR response change induced in ICC units in response to increases in inhibitory compared to excitatory input
