Where is the implant placed for auditory nerve?

The implant relays the signals to an electrode placed on the brainstem near the severed auditory nerve; the signals stimulate the brainstem and can be interpreted by the brain in a manner similar to the interpretation of signals normally received from the ear.

How does a cochlear implant work?

A cochlear implant is an electronic device that can provide improved speech and hearing communication abilities for people who have severe to profound hearing loss in both ears. The implant is surgically placed under the skin behind the ear. It generally consists of four parts: a microphone, which picks up sound from the environment; a speech processor, which is worn externally or carried and arranges the sound transmitted by the microphone; a receiver/stimulator that receives signals from the speech processor and converts them into electrical impulses; and electrode (s), which collects the impulses from the stimulator and sends them to the brain.

Which part of the sensory cortex is represented medially?

The hand and arm are represented just above the region for the face and the leg is represented medially, similar to the layout of the motor homunculus.

What are the primary sensory modalities?

The primary sensory modalities usually are examined first. These include touch, proprioception, vibration, temperature, and pain. Abnormalities in these sensations may occur with any sensory syndrome (eg, peripheral nerve injury, radiculopathy, spinal cord syndromes, thalamic and cerebral hemispheric syndromes). A disproportionate loss of vibration sense and proprioception, compared with pain and temperature sensation, tends to occur with diseases of the dorsal columns of the spinal cord (eg, tabes dorsalis, vitamin B12 deficiency, multiple sclerosis) and also with demyelinating neuropathies and sensory neuronopathies. (See "Pathogenesis, clinical manifestations, and treatment of late syphilis" and "Etiology and clinical manifestations of vitamin B12 and folic acid deficiency".)

Which ganglia carry proprioceptive and vibratory stimuli?

Projections from the dorsal root ganglia that carry proprioceptive, vibratory, pressure, and touch stimuli directly enter the dorsal columns from the dorsal roots [1]. The gracile column is medial and carries stimuli from the lumbar and thoracic region; the cuneate column begins laterally in the cervical region, which it subserves. Thus, the dorsal columns consist of first order neurons traveling ipsilateral to the peripheral nerve from which they originate. These neurons synapse with second order neurons in the cuneate and gracile nuclei of the medulla. These second order neurons cross in the dorsal midline of the medulla and ascend through the brainstem as the medial lemniscus to the ventral posterolateral nucleus of the thalamus where they synapse with third order neurons which project through the internal capsule and the centrum semiovale to the primary sensory cortex in the parietal lobe (figure 2).

Hypesthesia is the diminished ability to perceive pain, temperature, touch, or vibration.
