Cochlear NMDA Receptors as a Therapeutic Target of Noise-Induced Tinnitus
Background: Accumulating evidence suggests that tinnitus may occur despite normal auditory sensitivity, probably linked to partial degeneration of the cochlear nerve and damage of the inner hair cell (IHC) synapse.

Abstract Based on histological cross‐sections, the chondrocranium of the common musk turtle (Sternotherus odoratus) was reconstructed, described, and compared with other turtles. It differs from that of other turtle chondrocrania by possessing elongated, slightly dorsally orientated nasal capsules with three dorsolateral foramina, which might be ...

Audiological characteristics and cochlear implant outcome in children with cochlear nerve deficiency
ObjectivesThis study aimed to examine the audiological characteristics and validity of predicting outcomes of cochlear implants (CIs) in children with cochlear nerve deficiency (CND) based on the internal auditory meatus (IAM) nerve grading system ...

Treatise on Hearing: The Temporal Auditory Imaging Theory Inspired by Optics and Communication [PDF]
A new theory of mammalian hearing is presented, which accounts for the auditory image in the midbrain (inferior colliculus) of objects in the acoustical environment of the listener. It is shown that the ear is a temporal imaging system that comprises three transformations of the envelope functions: cochlear group-delay dispersion, cochlear time lensing,

An investigation of dendritic delay in octopus cells of the mammalian cochlear nucleus
Octopus cells, located in the mammalian auditory brainstem, receive their excitatory synaptic input ex-clusively from auditory nerve fi□bers. They respond with accurately timed spikes but are broadly tunedfor sound frequency.

Sensorineural hearing loss is very difficult to treat. Currently, one of the techniques used for hearing rehabilitation is a cochlear implant that can transform sound into electrical signals instead of inner ear hair cells. However, the prognosis remains

Sparse Codes for Speech Predict Spectrotemporal Receptive Fields in the Inferior Colliculus [PDF]
We have developed a sparse mathematical representation of speech that minimizes the number of active model neurons needed to represent typical speech sounds. The model learns several well-known acoustic features of speech such as harmonic stacks, formants, onsets and terminations, but we also find more exotic structures in the spectrogram ...

Amplification in the auditory periphery: the effect of coupling tuning mechanisms [PDF]
A mathematical model describing the coupling between two independent amplification mechanisms in auditory hair cells is proposed and analyzed. Hair cells are cells in the inner ear responsible for translating sound-induced mechanical stimuli into an electrical signal that can then be recorded by the auditory nerve.

ABSTRACT Objective Music interventions have been shown to have beneficial effects on hemodynamic parameters, pain, and anxiety in various medical settings. However, music interventions in the setting of acute stroke have not been studied. The objective of this trial was to perform a pilot feasibility study of music interventions in the setting of acute

Cortical Excitability Before and After Long‐Term Perampanel Treatment for Epilepsy
ABSTRACT Objective Antiseizure medications (ASMs), which may influence cortical excitability, are the mainstay of epilepsy treatment. Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) helps evaluate cortical excitability. We assessed changes in TMS responses using serial TMS measurements in people treated with an adjunctive noncompetitive AMPA‐receptor ...
