Abstract

An implantable apparatus, such as a cochlear implant, for delivering electrical plasticity informative stimuli to a neural network of an implantee. The apparatus comprises a stimulator device () that generates stimulation signals, and an electrode array () that receives the stimulation signals and delivers the stimuli to the neural network of the implantee in response to the signals. The stimuli delivered to the implantee facilitates and/or controls the production and/or release of naturally occurring agents into the neural network to influence the functionality thereof.
