Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, Vol. 117, No. 21 (May 26, 2020), pp. 11744-11752 (9 pages) Auditory experience drives neural circuit refinement during ...

Nucleus HVc of the avian song system is a forebrain structure critical in song production, perception and learning. Here we show that most HVc neurons that respond to auditory stimuli under anesthesia ...

When we hear sounds, specialized cells in the cochlear nucleus are the first to process that information, enabling our brains to understand speech, enjoy music and recognize various noises. For ...

Scientists at the Baylor College of Medicine, the Jan and Dan Duncan Neurological Research Institute at Texas Children’s Hospital, and the Oregon Health & Science University have identified and mapped ...

The second important finding is that the nucleus accumbens doesn't work alone, but interacts with the auditory cortex, an area of the brain that stores information about the sounds and music we have ...

The specific synaptic and post-synaptic characteristics that allow auditory neurons to compute with temporal precision have now been revealed by scientists, ultimately revealing the optimal ...

How we process sensory stimuli from the world around us is intricately modulated so that we sense what we want and discard the rest to avoid overtaxing our neural systems. A new study reports, ...

Functional connectivity between the nucleus accumbens (in red) and the right auditory cortex is associated with experiencing music-induced pleasure. Source: Wikimedia Commons/Public Domain A ...

Proteins of the fast component of axonal transport were analyzed by one- and two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis in the guinea pig spiral ganglion, which has its cell bodies in the ...

Bilateral deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the caudate nucleus appears safe and effective for patients with severe refractory tinnitus, early research suggests. Results of a small open-label study ...
