Cochlear implants (CIs) restore activity in the deafened auditory system via electrical stimulation of the auditory nerve. As the spread of electric current in biological tissues is rather broad, the spectral information provided by electrical CIs is ...

En route to sound coding strategies for optical cochlear implants
Summary: Hearing loss is the most common human sensory deficit. Severe-to-complete sensorineural hearing loss is often treated by electrical cochlear implants (eCIs) bypassing dysfunctional or lost hair cells by direct stimulation of the auditory nerve ...

A silent two-photon imaging system for studying in vivo auditory neuronal functions
Silent two-photon imaging is demonstrated with non-mechanical AOD scanners. Video-rate recordings in auditory cortex of awake marmoset monkeys reveal neuronal functions at unprecedented low sound levels.

Intertrial auditory neural stability supports beat synchronization in preschoolers
The ability to synchronize motor movements along with an auditory beat places stringent demands on the temporal processing and sensorimotor integration capabilities of the nervous system.

Background In otologic surgery good visualization is paramount, and patients with bleeding diatheses or who need to be anti-coagulated can present a significant challenge.

Sex differences in auditory processing vary across estrous cycle
In humans, females process a sound’s harmonics more robustly than males. As estrogen regulates auditory plasticity in a sex-specific manner in seasonally breeding animals, estrogen signaling is one hypothesized mechanism for this difference in humans. To

CaBP1 and 2 enable sustained CaV1.3 calcium currents and synaptic transmission in inner hair cells
To encode continuous sound stimuli, the inner hair cell (IHC) ribbon synapses utilize calcium-binding proteins (CaBPs), which reduce the inactivation of their CaV1.3 calcium channels. Mutations in the CABP2 gene underlie non-syndromic autosomal recessive

Neurons along the auditory pathway exhibit a hierarchical organization of prediction error
Perception can be explained by predictive coding, but it is unclear how this theory applies at the single-neuron level. Here, authors describe how auditory patterns are encoded and detected by single neurons along the auditory pathway, demonstrating that
