Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2021 Temporary conductive hearing loss (CHL) can lead to hearing impairments that persist beyond resolution of the CHL. In particular, unilateral CHL leads to deficits in auditory skills that rely on binaural input (e.g., spatial hearing).

Subcortical circuits mediate communication between primary sensory cortical areas in mice
Nature Communications, 2021 In the primary auditory cortex, visual or tactile stimuli can modulate acoustically-driven activity. Here, the authors show that circuits linking the primary somatosensory cortex to both the auditory midbrain and thalamus allow tactile inputs to modulate

Neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder with deafness and an extensive brainstem lesion
Heliyon, 2021 A 49-year-old woman developed vomiting, hiccups, double vision, and bilateral ptosis, after which tinnitus and deafness appeared. Head magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed a brainstem lesion focused on the midbrain and pons.

Representation of early sensory experience in the adult auditory midbrain: implications for vocal learning. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Vocal learning in songbirds and humans occurs by imitation of adult vocalizations. In both groups, vocal learning includes a perceptual phase during which juveniles birds and infants memorize adult vocalizations.

An Overrepresentation of High Frequencies in the Mouse Inferior Colliculus Supports the Processing of Ultrasonic Vocalizations. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Mice are of paramount importance in biomedical research and their vocalizations are a subject of interest for researchers across a wide range of health-related disciplines due to their increasingly important value as a phenotyping tool in models of ...

Impaired Auditory Temporal Selectivity in the Inferior Colliculus of Aged Mongolian Gerbils [PDF]
, 2011 Aged humans show severe difficulties in temporal auditory processing tasks (e.g., speech recognition in noise, low-frequency sound localization, gap detection). A degradation of auditory function with age is also evident in experimental animals.

Frontiers in Neuroanatomy, 2017 The auditory system contains a diverse array of interconnected anatomical structures that mediate the perception of sound. The cochlear nucleus of the hindbrain serves as the initial site of convergence for auditory stimuli, while the inferior colliculus

Mixed Representations of Sound and Action in the Auditory Midbrain
The Journal of Neuroscience, 2023 Linking sensory input and its consequences is a fundamental brain operation. During behavior, the neural activity of neocortical and limbic systems often reflects dynamic combinations of sensory and task-dependent variables, and these “mixed representations” are suggested to be important for perception, learning, and plasticity ...

Auditory midbrain coding of statistical learning that results from discontinuous sensory stimulation. [PDF]
PLoS Biology, 2018 Detecting regular patterns in the environment, a process known as statistical learning, is essential for survival. Neuronal adaptation is a key mechanism in the detection of patterns that are continuously repeated across short (seconds to minutes ...

Efficient Encoding of Vocalizations in the Auditory Midbrain [PDF]
The Journal of Neuroscience, 2010 An important question in sensory neuroscience is what coding strategies and mechanisms are used by the brain to detect and discriminate among behaviorally relevant stimuli. There is evidence that sensory systems migrate from a distributed and redundant encoding strategy at the periphery to a more heterogeneous encoding in cortical structures.
