The segregation of Calb1, Calb2, and Prph neurons reveals distinct and mixed neuronal populations and projections to hair cells in the inner ear and central nuclei

Developmental Dynamics, EarlyView.
Three populations of hair cells have a distinct expression of Calb1 and Calb2. (A, A′D) The central is highly positive for Calb1 while surrounding HC are positive for Calb2. Later, a calyx forms primarily with Calb1. (B, B′, D′, D″) Saccule and utricle start out positive for Calb2 but will upregulate the Calb1 in the striola that is primarily forming ...

Role of SoxE transcription factors in development and disease

Developmental Dynamics, EarlyView.
Abstract Sox8, Sox9, and Sox10 arose by multiple rounds of genome duplications from a single SoxE gene in ancestral vertebrates. In this review, we will briefly discuss the molecular structure and function of SoxE transcription factors and their evolutionary origin. We will then discuss their expression, function, and developmental disorders.

The Role of Autoimmunity in the Pathogenesis of Sudden Sensorineural Hearing Loss

Neural Plasticity, 2018
Sudden sensorineural hearing loss (SSHL) is a clinically common acute symptom in otolaryngology. Although the incidence of SSHL has increased around the world in recent years, the etiology of the disease is still unclear.

Bioinspired Flexible and Stretchable Coil Structure from Ti3C2Tx MXene/AgNPs‐Functionalized Piezoelectric Nanofibers for Enhanced Energy Harvesting

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
Ti3C2Tx MXene and Ag nanoparticles are embedded into piezoelectric nanofibers to form a stretchable, self‐powered coil that converts mechanical deformation into electrical energy. The device enables controllable power output during stretching and release while maintaining a compact and lightweight architecture, making it suitable for miniaturized ...

Reducing artifacts in electrically evoked auditory potentials (eAEP)

Current Directions in Biomedical Engineering
Introduction: In auditory evoked potentials (= AEP), auditory brainstem response (= ABR) is the gold standard for objective analysis of the auditory pathway using acoustical stimulators like headphones during hearing screening and patient assessment ...

Music Engineering as a Novel Strategy for Enhancing Music Enjoyment in the Cochlear Implant Recipient

Behavioural Neurology, 2015
Objective. Enjoyment of music remains an elusive goal following cochlear implantation. We test the hypothesis that reengineering music to reduce its complexity can enhance the listening experience for the cochlear implant (CI) listener. Methods.

Consonant and Vowel Confusions in Well-Performing Children and Adolescents With Cochlear Implants, Measured by a Nonsense Syllable Repetition Test

Frontiers in Psychology, 2019
Although the majority of early implanted, profoundly deaf children with cochlear implants (CIs), will develop correct pronunciation if they receive adequate oral language stimulation, many of them have difficulties with perceiving minute details of ...
