Cortical Plasticity after Cochlear Implantation
Neural Plasticity, 2013 The most dramatic progress in the restoration of hearing takes place in the first months after cochlear implantation. To map the brain activity underlying this process, we used positron emission tomography at three time points: within 14 days, three ...

Beyond Bioactive Glass Composition: Using Morphology to Improve in Vitro and in Vivo Performance
Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.Bioactive glasses can easily be shaped into granules, spheres, discs, fibers, or three‐dimensional scaffolds. The resulting morphology not only affects handling properties; it has a direct influence on various glass properties, including results of acellular immersion experiments or in vitro studies with cells or bacteria, but also on in vivo ...

The onset of visual experience gates auditory cortex critical periods
Nature Communications, 2016 Visual and auditory systems influence each other during development. Here, the authors show that the onset of eyelid opening regulates critical points during which the auditory cortex is sensitive to hearing loss or the restoration of ...

Rescue of inhibitory synapse strength following developmental hearing loss.
PLoS ONE, 2013 Inhibitory synapse dysfunction may contribute to many developmental brain disorders, including the secondary consequences of sensory deprivation. In fact, developmental hearing loss leads to a profound reduction in the strength of inhibitory postsynaptic

Pre-operative Evaluation of Eustachian Tube Function Using a Modified Pressure Equilibration Test is Predictive of Good Postoperative Hearing and Middle Ear Aeration in Type 1 Tympanoplasty Patients [PDF]
Clinical and Experimental Otorhinolaryngology, 2009 ObjectivesThe Eustachian tube (ET) plays an important role in maintaining a normally aerated middle ear. Inflammation in middle ear disease is related to ET dysfunction, and postoperative restoration of middle ear integrity and hearing are closely ...
