Current Biology, 2007 Recognizing other people, animals or objects by the sound they make is something that most of us take for granted. In fact, this ability relies on a series of rich and complex processes that begin when sounds are transduced into electrical signals by the exquisitely sensitive hair cell receptors that lie inside the cochlea of the inner ear.

Auditory processing in individuals with auditory neuropathy [PDF]
Behavioral and Brain Functions, 2005 Abstract Background Auditory neuropathy is a disorder characterized by no or severely impaired auditory brainstem responses in presence of normal otoacoustic emissions and/or cochlear microphonics. Speech perception abilities in these individuals are disproportionate to their hearing sensitivity and reported to be ...

Auditory Reserve and the Legacy of Auditory Experience [PDF]
Brain Sciences, 2014 Musical training during childhood has been linked to more robust encoding of sound later in life. We take this as evidence for an auditory reserve: a mechanism by which individuals capitalize on earlier life experiences to promote auditory processing.

Auditory influences on non-auditory cortices [PDF]
Hearing Research, 2009 Although responses to auditory stimuli have been extensively examined in the well-known regions of auditory cortex, there are numerous reports of acoustic sensitivity in cortical areas that are dominated by other sensory modalities. Whether in 'polysensory' cortex or in visual or somatosensory regions, auditory responses in non-auditory cortex have ...

Scientific Reports, 2023 Cochlear implants (CIs) have revolutionised treatment of hearing loss, but large populations globally cannot access them either because of disorders that prevent implantation or because they are expensive and require specialist surgery. Recent technology

Occupational Noise: Auditory and Non-Auditory Consequences [PDF]
International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, 2020 Occupational noise exposure accounts for approximately 16% of all disabling hearing losses, but the true value and societal costs may be grossly underestimated because current regulations only identify hearing impairments in the workplace if exposures result in audiometric threshold shifts within a limited frequency region.

Neural Mechanisms of Selective Auditory Attention in Rats (Dissertation) [PDF]
, 2008 How does attention modulate sensory representations? In order to probe the underlying neural mechanisms, we established a simple rodent model of modality-specific attention.

Frontiers in Aging Neuroscience, 2012 Older adults frequently complain that while they can hear a person talking, they cannot understand what is being said; this difficulty is exacerbated by background noise. Peripheral hearing loss cannot fully account for this age-related decline in speech-

Nature Communications, 2022 The authors developed an optical imaging approach for mapping cortical functions through the intact skull in marmoset monkeys. Detailed functions and topographies were revealed in visual, auditory, and somatosensory cortices at mesoscopic scales.
