Microbial exopolysaccharide production by polyextremophiles in the adaptation to multiple extremes

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Polyextremophiles are microorganisms that endure multiple extreme conditions by various adaptation strategies that also include the production of exopolysaccharides (EPSs). This review provides an integrated perspective on EPS biosynthesis, function, and regulation in these organisms, emphasizing their critical role in survival and highlighting their ...

Correlation between Auditory Spectral Resolution and Speech Perception in Children with Cochlear Implants [PDF]

Iranian Journal of Medical Sciences, 2019
Background: Variability in speech performance is a major concern for children with cochlear implants (CIs). Spectral resolution is an important acoustic component in speech perception.

CSF Biomarker‐Based Cognitive Trajectories in Parkinson's Disease‐Subjective Cognitive Decline

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Cognitive complaints without objective cognitive impairment in Parkinson's Disease, termed Parkinson's Disease‐Subjective Cognitive Decline (PD‐SCD), have been associated with cognitive decline. However, its progression is heterogeneous, highlighting the need for improved identification of patients at greater risk for deterioration ...

Utility of TMS to understand the neurobiology of speech

Frontiers in Psychology, 2013
According to a traditional view, speech perception and production are processed largely separately in sensory and motor brain areas. Recent psycholinguistic and neuroimaging studies provide novel evidence that the sensory and motor systems dynamically ...

Speaker-normalized sound representations in the human auditory cortex [PDF]

, 2019
The acoustic dimensions that distinguish speech sounds (like the vowel differences in “boot” and “boat”) also differentiate speakers’ voices. Therefore, listeners must normalize across speakers without losing linguistic information.

Phenotyping Healthcare Use 2–3 Decades Before the First Multiple Sclerosis Demyelinating Event

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Phenotype hospital, physician, and emergency department (ED) visits by diagnoses and specialty up to 29 years pre‐multiple sclerosis (MS) onset versus a matched population without MS. Methods We identified people with MS (PwMS) using population‐based administrative data from Ontario, Canada (1991–2020).

‘Normal’ hearing thresholds and fundamental auditory grouping processes predict difficulties with speech-in-noise perception

Scientific Reports, 2019
Understanding speech when background noise is present is a critical everyday task that varies widely among people. A key challenge is to understand why some people struggle with speech-in-noise perception, despite having clinically normal hearing.

Predicting future reading problems based on pre-reading auditory measures: a longitudinal study of children with a familial risk of dyslexia [PDF]

, 2017
Purpose: This longitudinal study examines measures of temporal auditory processing in pre-reading children with a family risk of dyslexia. Specifically, it attempts to ascertain whether pre-reading auditory processing, speech perception, and ...

Detecting rs‐fMRI Networks in Disorders of Consciousness: Improving Clinical Interpretability

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Preserved resting‐state functional MRI (rs‐fMRI) networks are typically observed in Disorders of Consciousness (DOC). Despite the widespread use of rs‐fMRI in DOC, a systematic assessment of networks is needed to improve the interpretability of data in clinical practice.

Effects of noise and reverberation on speech perception and listening comprehension of children and adults in a classroom-like setting

Noise and Health, 2010
The effects of classroom noise and background speech on speech perception, measured by word-to-picture matching, and listening comprehension, measured by execution of oral instructions, were assessed in first- and third-grade children and adults in a ...
