Graded optogenetic activation of the auditory pathway for hearing restoration

open access: yesBrain Stimulation, 2023
Optogenetic control of neural activity enables innovative approaches to improve functional restoration of diseased sensory and motor systems. For clinical translation to succeed, optogenetic stimulation needs to closely match the coding properties of the

The auditory cortex [PDF]

open access: yesCurrent 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.

Relationships Between Health-Related Quality of Life and Speech Perception in Bimodal and Bilateral Cochlear Implant Users

open access: yesFrontiers in Psychology, 2022
PurposePrevious studies examining the relationship between health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and speech perception ability in cochlear implant (CI) users have yielded variable results, due to a range of factors, such as a variety of different HRQoL ...

Novelty detection in an auditory oddball task on freely moving rats

open access: yesCommunications Biology, 2023
The relative importance or saliency of sensory inputs depend on the animal’s environmental context and the behavioural responses to these same inputs can vary over time.

Sensitivity to haptic sound-localisation cues

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2021
Hearing aid and cochlear implant (CI) users often struggle to locate and segregate sounds. The dominant sound-localisation cues are time and intensity differences across the ears.

Improving speech perception for hearing-impaired listeners using audio-to-tactile sensory substitution with multiple frequency channels

open access: yesScientific 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

Musical experience strengthens the neural representation of sounds important for communication in middle-aged adults

open access: yesFrontiers 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-

Analyzing efficacy, stability, and safety of AAV-mediated optogenetic hearing restoration in mice

open access: yesLife Science Alliance, 2022
This longitudinal study revealed stable expression of the fast-gating channelrhodopsin f-Chrimson in cochlear neurons of mice over at least 2 yr upon a single postnatal AAV dosing of the cochlea.

Mesoscopic landscape of cortical functions revealed by through-skull wide-field optical imaging in marmoset monkeys

open access: yesNature 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.

Music training relates to the development of neural mechanisms of selective auditory attention

open access: yesDevelopmental Cognitive Neuroscience, 2015
Selective attention decreases trial-to-trial variability in cortical auditory-evoked activity. This effect increases over the course of maturation, potentially reflecting the gradual development of selective attention and inhibitory control.
