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 ...

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 ...

In the autism model rat, MNTB neurons are impaired and the transmitted sound signals cannot be suppressed. Thus, it causes auditory hypersensitivity.

Helping To Better Understand The Development And Maturation Of The Auditory Pathway Date: July 17, 2000 Source: Johns Hopkins Medical Institutions Summary: Scientists at Johns Hopkins have ...

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 ...

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 ...

A new study co-led by Mass General Brigham researchers points to a promising new type of auditory brainstem implant (ABI) that could benefit people who are deaf due to Neurofibromatosis type 2 ...

A 3-year-old boy is hearing the world for the first time, thanks to an auditory brain stem implant. "He likes sound," young Grayson's mom Nicole Clamp, said to CBS affiliate WBTV in Charlotte, N.C ...

2.2 Outline of the procedure 2.2.1 The cochlear nucleus lies in the brain stem and is responsible for processing sound signals carried from the ear through the vestibulocochlear nerve. Auditory brain ...

The fine-tuning of their auditory pathway could accelerate their development of language and reading, as well as other abilities—a potential effect which the scientists are continuing to study.

THE AUDITORY PATHWAY. Located on the surface of the temporal lobes, the primary auditory cortex of each hemisphere processes input from the opposite ear. Cranial nerves, however, ...
