Acoustic Stimulation Improves Memory and Reverses the Contribution of Chronic Sleep Deprivation to Pathology in 3xTgAD Mice [PDF]
Brain Sciences, 2022 Objective: Acoustic stimulation during sleep is believed to enhance slow waves, which are critical to memory consolidation. However, clinical trials of acoustic stimulation have yielded mixed results concerning its effectiveness in improving human memory.

A systematic review and meta-analysis of acoustic stimulation in the treatment of insomnia [PDF]
Frontiers in NeuroscienceBackgroundInsomnia is a prevalent and debilitating sleep disorder affecting approximately one-third of the global population, with 10–15% of individuals progressing to chronic insomnia. Acoustic stimulation, a promising non-pharmacological treatment, has

Mandarin speech perception in combined electric and acoustic stimulation. [PDF]
, 2014 For deaf individuals with residual low-frequency acoustic hearing, combined use of a cochlear implant (CI) and hearing aid (HA) typically provides better speech understanding than with either device alone.

Temporal sequence of visuo-auditory interaction in multiple areas of the guinea pig visual cortex. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Recent studies in humans and monkeys have reported that acoustic stimulation influences visual responses in the primary visual cortex (V1). Such influences can be generated in V1, either by direct auditory projections or by feedback projections from ...

Utility of red‐light ultrafast optogenetic stimulation of the auditory pathway
EMBO Molecular Medicine, 2021 Optogenetic stimulation of spiral ganglion neurons (SGNs) in the ear provides a future alternative to electrical stimulation used in current cochlear implants. Here, we employed fast and very fast variants of the red‐light‐activated channelrhodopsin (ChR)

Similarities between action potentials and acoustic pulses in a van der Waals fluid [PDF]
, 2018 An action potential is typically described as a purely electrical change that propagates along the membrane of excitable cells. However, recent experiments have demonstrated that non-linear acoustic pulses that propagate along lipid interfaces and ...

Intermediate Latency-Evoked Potentials of Multimodal Cortical Vestibular Areas: Galvanic Stimulation
Frontiers in Neurology, 2017 IntroductionHuman multimodal vestibular cortical regions are bilaterally anterior insulae and posterior opercula, where characteristic vestibular-related cortical potentials were previously reported under acoustic otolith stimulation. Galvanic vestibular

Processing acoustic change and novelty in newborn infants [PDF]
, 2007 Research on event-related potential (ERP) correlates of auditory deviance-detection in newborns provided inconsistent results; temporal and topographic ERP characteristics differed widely across studies and individual infants.
