[Legal family assessment in the case of alcoholic parents].

Legal testimony in families with alcohol abusing parents requires extensive psychological assessment concerning developmental risks and coping resources of the children, specific characteristics of abuse, abuse related behaviour and comorbidity of the alcohol abusing parent als well as morbidity of the non-alcoholic parent. Children of alcoholics and their parents themselves need long-term help beyond the process of divorce and legal activities which demands close cooperation between social institutions involved.

Influence of a low-frequency tone on the sensitivity of primary auditory neurons: two fiber populations.

The influence of biasing low-frequency tone on the sensitivity of primary auditory nerve fibers to tone bursts at the characteristic frequency is determined. In 7% of the investigated fibers the sensitivity varied systematically with the position of the tone burst within the low-frequency tone period. In the remaining 93% of fibers this dependence was not observed. A comparison of the ratio of these numbers with the ratio of fibers from inner and outer hair cells leads to the suggestion that different responses stem from fibers innervating different types of hair cells.

Filter function of the guinea pig cochlea after degeneration of outer hair cells.

After kanamycin induced degeneration of outer hair cells from guinea pigs the tuning properties of primary auditory nerve fibres are compared with those of normal untreated guinea pigs. The existence of fibres with no alteration of the tuning properties leads to the conclusion that there is no neural interaction between inner and outer hair cells needed to enhance the frequency selectivity.
