Devising a framework of optogenetic coding in the auditory pathway: Insights from auditory midbrain recordings

open access: yesBrain Stimulation, 2023
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

open access: yesiScience, 2023
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

open access: yesLight: Science & Applications, 2022
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

open access: yesDevelopmental Cognitive Neuroscience, 2016
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.

Can floseal™ be applied safely during otologic surgery? Assessment of ototoxicity in a chinchilla animal model

open access: yesJournal of Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, 2017
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

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2021
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

open access: yeseLife
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

Improved tactile speech perception and noise robustness using audio-to-tactile sensory substitution with amplitude envelope expansion

open access: yesScientific Reports
Recent advances in haptic technology could allow haptic hearing aids, which convert audio to tactile stimulation, to become viable for supporting people with hearing loss.

Improved tactile speech perception using audio-to-tactile sensory substitution with formant frequency focusing

open access: yesScientific Reports
Haptic hearing aids, which provide speech information through tactile stimulation, could substantially improve outcomes for both cochlear implant users and for those unable to access cochlear implants.

Neurons along the auditory pathway exhibit a hierarchical organization of prediction error

open access: yesNature Communications, 2017
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
