Auditory cortex basal activity modulates cochlear responses in chinchillas. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: The auditory efferent system has unique neuroanatomical pathways that connect the cerebral cortex with sensory receptor cells. Pyramidal neurons located in layers V and VI of the primary auditory cortex constitute descending projections to ...

Cochlear Implantation Outcomes in Patients With OTOF Mutations
Auditory neuropathy is a special type of hearing loss caused by dysfunction of the synapse of the inner hair cells, the auditory nerve, and/or the auditory nerve itself.

Differential roles for EphA and EphB signaling in segregation and patterning of central vestibulocochlear nerve projections. [PDF]
Auditory and vestibular afferents enter the brainstem through the VIIIth cranial nerve and find targets in distinct brain regions. We previously reported that the axon guidance molecules EphA4 and EphB2 have largely complementary expression patterns in ...

Metabolic decline in an insect ear: correlative or causative for age-related auditory decline?
One leading hypothesis for why we lose our hearing as we age is a decrease in ear metabolism. However, direct measurements of metabolism across a lifespan in any auditory system are lacking.

Optogenetic Stimulation of the Auditory Nerve [PDF]
Direct electrical stimulation of spiral ganglion neurons (SGNs) by cochlear implants (CIs) enables open speech comprehension in the majority of implanted deaf subjects(1-) (6). Nonetheless, sound coding with current CIs has poor frequency and intensity resolution due to broad current spread from each electrode contact activating a large number of SGNs ...

Morphological characterization of bushy cells and their inputs in the laboratory mouse (Mus musculus) anteroventral cochlear nucleus. [PDF]
Spherical and globular bushy cells of the AVCN receive huge auditory nerve endings specialized for high fidelity neural transmission in response to acoustic events.

Multi-Transfer Learning Techniques for Detecting Auditory Brainstem Response [PDF]
The assessment of the well-being of the peripheral auditory nerve system in individuals experiencing hearing impairment is conducted through auditory brainstem response (ABR) testing. Audiologists assess and document the results of the ABR test. They interpret the findings and assign labels to them using reference-based markers like peak latency ...

Unmasking in the auditory nerve [PDF]
Unmasking as a psychoacoustical procedure was developed by Houtgast [J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 51, 1885–1894 (1972)]. It is a two-masker paradigm whereby a subject's masked threshold is determined with a probe tone (f1) preceded by two simultaneously occurring tones, one also at frequency f1, the other having variable frequency (f2). The f1 masker produces a

A comparative study of eight human auditory models of monaural processing [PDF]
A number of auditory models have been developed using diverging approaches, either physiological or perceptual, but they share comparable stages of signal processing, as they are inspired by the same constitutive parts of the auditory system. We compare eight monaural models that are openly accessible in the Auditory Modelling Toolbox.
