[Do 2d-order neurons exist in the cat cochlear nerve?]

There are not any neurons along the course of the cat cochlear nerve fibers. This corroborates the data of other investigations, that some rodents have intercalated neurons between the cochlear nerve fibers, but they do not occur in cats. Thus, the possibility to registrate activity of neurons of the first and second order within the cat cochlear nerve, the possibility that is still discussing in the electrophysiological literature, is denied.
