Phasic firing and coincidence detection by subthreshold negative feedback: divisive or subtractive or, better, both [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Phasic neurons typically fire only for a fast-rising input, say at the onset of a step current, but not for steady or slow inputs, a property associated with type III excitability.

Advances in the Treatment of Sensorineural Hearing Loss: From Traditional Therapies to Stem Cell and Gene Therapies

open access: yesAdvanced Sensor Research, Volume 5, Issue 4, April 2026.
Sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) occurs in 1.5 billion globally, primary driven by damage of cochlear hair cells and spiral ganglion neurons. This review systematically examines current therapeutic strategies for sensorineural hearing loss, including traditional drug and physical therapies as well as emerging stem cell and gene therapies, providing a ...

Predictors for estimating subcortical EEG responses to continuous speech.

open access: yesPLoS ONE
Perception of sounds and speech involves structures in the auditory brainstem that rapidly process ongoing auditory stimuli. The role of these structures in speech processing can be investigated by measuring their electrical activity using scalp-mounted ...

Effects of antioxidants on auditory nerve function and survival in deafened guinea pigs

open access: yesNeurobiology of Disease, 2007
Based on in vitro studies, it is hypothesized that neurotrophic factor deprivation following deafferentation elicits an oxidative state change in the deafferented neuron and the formation of free radicals that then signal cell death pathways.

The connections of the inferior colliculus and the organization of the brainstem auditory system in the greater horseshoe bat (Rhinolophus ferrumequinum) [PDF]

open access: yes, 1981
The connections of the inferior colliculus, the mammalian midbrain auditory center, were determined in the greater horseshoe bat (Rhinolophus ferrumequinum), using the horseradish peroxidase method.

Midbrain PAG Astrocytes Modulate Mouse Defensive and Panic‐Like Behaviors

open access: yesAdvanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 19, 2 April 2026.
Astrocytes in the midbrain periaqueductal gray (PAG) dynamically encode threat intensity and shape defensive action selection in mice. Real‐time Ca2+ imaging reveals robust astrocytic activation during predator odor and CO2 exposure. Aberrant astrocytic Ca2+ overactivation disrupts goal‐directed escape, biases behavior toward freezing, and induces ...

A full-custom fully implantable cochlear implant system validated in vivo with an animal model

open access: yesCommunications Engineering
Realizations of fully implantable cochlear implants (FICIs) for providing adequate solution to esthetic concerns and frequent battery replacement have lacked of addressing system level criteria as a complete device.

Genetic Diagnosis and Discovery Enabled by Large Language Models

open access: yesAdvanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 22, 17 April 2026.
We demonstrate that large language models (LLMs) can facilitate genetic diagnosis and discovery. LLMs were used to solve four types of genetic problems of sequentially increased complexity. An LLM‐based pipeline could analyze genetic variants in the genomic sequences of human hearing loss or rare genetic disease patients and assist in identifying ...

Signaled two-way avoidance learning using electrical stimulation of the inferior colliculus as negative reinforcement: effects of visual and auditory cues as warning stimuli

open access: yesBrazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research, 1998
The inferior colliculus is a primary relay for the processing of auditory information in the brainstem. The inferior colliculus is also part of the so-called brain aversion system as animals learn to switch off the electrical stimulation of this ...

Compensatory Interplay Between Clarin‐1 and Clarin‐2 Deafness‐Associated Proteins Governs Phenotypic Variability in Hearing

open access: yesAdvanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 20, 9 April 2026.
Functional compensation between clarin‐1 and clarin‐2 in cochlear hair cells. Hearing loss associated with CLRN1 mutations shows striking phenotypic variability; however, the underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood. This study reveals that clarin‐1 and clarin‐2 function cooperatively in cochlear hair cells to sustain mechanoelectrical ...
