Auditory pathways in the brainstem do not fully mature without microglia clearing away extra cell connections. This crucial function occurs even when pruning by microglia is delayed, according to ...

Helping To Better Understand The Development And Maturation Of The Auditory Pathway Date: July ... of a group of nerve fibers that originates in the brain stem and fires off signals even ...

Researchers have developed a non-invasive method for mapping the human auditory pathway, which could potentially be used as a tool to help clinicians decide the best surgical strategy for patients ...

We measured the neural activity associated with the temporal structure of sound in the human auditory pathway from cochlear nucleus to cortex. The temporal structure includes regularities at the ...

Thus, it causes auditory hypersensitivity. Since MNTB is known to be involved in exploring the direction of the sounds, ... Auditory Pathway in the Autism Model Rat Brainstem (IMAGE) ...

The auditory pathway was studied between 6 and 11 wk of life by analyzing brainstem evoked potentials elicited by a 10/s, 75 dB above normal adult hearing level click stimulus presented at the ...

The study shows music instruction speeds up the maturation of the auditory pathway in the brain and increases its efficiency. ... Soft brainstem implant delivers high-resolution hearing. Apr 18, 2025.
