We studied the role of the neuronal circuit consisting of the superior olive-cochlear hair cells-auditory nerve complex in the pathophysiology of reflex audiogenic generalized epilepsy in the epileptic golden hamster. A direct role of the auditory function can be assumed from the genetic lesions found in these animals' acoustic system. These animals are a model of the anatomopathologic substrate of a type of hereditary neurosensorial hypoacusia.
