Furthermore, optogenetic stimulation of SGNs restored auditory activity in deaf mice.
Optogenetic stimulation achieved better frequency resolution than monopolar electrical stimulation in the cochlea.

Approximation of the spatial spread of cochlear excitation by recording local field potentials (LFPs) in the inferior colliculus in response to suprathreshold optical, acoustic, and electrical stimuli indicated that optogenetic stimulation achieves better frequency resolution than monopolar electrical stimulation.
Optogenetic stimulation of spiral ganglion neurons activated the auditory pathway.
Quoted textsource-backed
Optogenetic stimulation of spiral ganglion neurons (SGNs) activated the auditory pathway, as demonstrated by recordings of single neuron and neuronal population responses.
The study demonstrates a strategy for optogenetic stimulation of the auditory pathway in rodents and motivates future auditory research and prosthetic applications.
