Fluoxetine during auditory development drove 91 brainstem gene changes, reduced neural circuit stability, and left lasting ...

Auditory processing disorder (APD) is when the brain cannot interpret sounds correctly. People may also refer to APD as central auditory processing disorder. People with APD may find it difficult to ...

Computational models that mimic the structure and function of the human auditory system could help researchers design better hearing aids, cochlear implants, and brain-machine interfaces. A new study ...

Auditory brainstem processing underpins our ability to determine the location of sounds in space, a function that is essential for navigation, communication, and environmental awareness. At the heart ...

Studies on misophonia have compared the newly termed disorder to Obsessive Compulsive and Related Disorders, synesthesia, anger management problems, disorders related to impulse control, and ...

Increasing the expression of a protein responsible for maintaining neuron health led to better-than-normal processing of auditory information, according to a new study. The findings open the door to ...

Bats exhibit remarkable sensory adaptations that enable them to navigate, forage and communicate in complex and cluttered environments. At the heart of their extraordinary capabilities lies ...

Hearing is so effortless for most of us that it’s often difficult to comprehend how much information the brain’s auditory system needs to process and disentangle. It has to take incoming sounds and ...

When we are engaged in a task, our brain's auditory system changes how it works. One of the main auditory centers of the brain, auditory cortex, is filled with neural activity that is not sound driven ...
