Abstract

A report is given about a computer-aided 3-D reconstruction of the human cochlear nuclear complex. The structure of the cochlear nuclei is of growing interest, since it appears that it might be possible to electro-stimulate them by direct placement of an electro-auditory prosthetic device. The study is based on normal human brains of adults. A simplified system for serial section three-dimensional reconstruction using a picture processing system is described. Line drawings and continuous, tone shaded images of a 3-D solid model of a cochlear nuclear complex are generated.

This study will contribute to a better understanding of the surface structure of the cochlear nuclei and will give some help towards the construction of an electro-auditory prosthesis.
