Figure 1: Diffusion tensor imaging produces ten 3D volumes highlighting different cytoarchitecture. Selected volumes include: MD- mean diffusivity follows the integrity of cortical layers, layers in the hippocampus and thalamic nuclei. FA- fractional anisotropy provides a measure of white matter health. ClrTDI- Color track density shows local fiber tracks with color indicating local direction of the fibers (Red- left/ right; Green- in/out of plane; Blue top/bottom. Fiber tracking allows one to measure the global and local connectivity in the whole brain. The resolution in the TDI is 5 μm. The inset (1 mm wide) shows a magnified region of hippocampus in which apical dendrites are visible.

Figure 1: After controlling for cochlear health (assessed via RW-ECochG-TR), our data reveal that a short lateral wall electrode is linked to poorer CI performance when residual hearing is not preserved. Conversely, when a short lateral wall electrode is used, and residual hearing is preserved – enabling the use of electro-acoustic stimulation (EAS) – patients achieve excellent performance, whereas loss of residual hearing leads to significant underperformance.
