Influence of myelin and active ion channels on the recorded signal. A and B: Recorded responses of a type I cell with unmyelinated peripheral axon, simulated as in Fig. 7. Position of the recording electrode as in Fig. 2C with electrode distance z_el = 2 mm (A). Increase of electrode distance to z_el = 8 mm causes a smoothed signal of smaller amplitude (B). C and D: Comparison of the early part of the simulated ABR signal for active soma membrane (black) and passive soma membrane (gray).
