Transient Sleep Deprivation Induces Persistent Auditory Neuropathy via ROS‐Initiated Neuroinflammation and BK Channel Suppression

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Sleep disturbance severity closely tracks hearing loss in a clinical cohort, yet the mechanistic link remains unclear. Acute sleep deprivation is shown to trigger transient cochlear oxidative stress that switches into a self‐sustaining neuroinflammatory state, suppressing BK channels and causing irreversible synaptopathy.

Brain Network Dynamics of Local and Global Predictive Processing in Aging

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Separation of concurrent whole‐brain networks in source‐reconstructed magnetoencephalography (MEG) data suggests that healthy aging reorganizes, rather than uniformly attenuates, neural responses elicited from hierarchical auditory violations. Enhanced early sensory deviance processing alongside reduced higher‐order cognitive responses suggests a large‐

A Molecularly Defined Midbrain Circuit Mechanism for Sound‐Driven Defensive Behavior and Anxiety

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Schematic diagram showing the Cbln2+ ICx–dPAG circuit for sound‐driven defensive and anxiety‐like behaviors. ABSTRACT The innate defense behaviors in response to threatening sounds play a fundamental role in survival. However, the neural circuits that detect threat‐relevant auditory cues and transform them into defensive behaviors remain poorly defined.

Disrupted Top‐Down Modulation as a Mechanism of Impaired Multisensory Processing in Autistic Children

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
In this work, we show that multisensory integration in autistic children is characterized by attenuated ERP responses and α‐band desynchronization, together with reduced theta‐band communication between parieto‐occipital and frontal regions. The intermediate neural profile observed in unaffected siblings raises the possibility that altered cortical ...

Rethinking Cochlear Implants: The Need for Precise Temporal Coding

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Spatial hearing relies on sensitivity to interaural temporal cues, but this sensitivity is often poorly developed in patients with cochlear implants, particularly those with early‐onset hearing loss. Rats with cochlear implants, however, demonstrate excellent temporal sensitivity, suggesting that this limitation is not inevitable.
