Long before a baby's ears are functional, the brain is already building the circuitry needed for hearing, according to new ...

Here we discuss the neural circuits mediating fear learning. Specifically we focus on recent discoveries concerning the circuits that carry auditory and aversive information to the amygdala, on how ...

A child with profound genetic hearing loss was dosed with the investigational otoferlin gene therapy (DB-OTO), becoming the first patient dosed in a phase 1/2 trial evaluating the treatment, and ...

Once there, the auditory circuit splits and sends the information into two branches: One branch (consisting of two neurons) acts as a delay line, holding up the processing of the signal by the same ...

A widespread and appealing hypothesis is that all cortical areas (for example, visual and auditory) are wired according to the same general schema, regardless of what computation is performed in each ...

When it comes to courtship, it is important to ensure that one is interacting with a member of the same species. Animals use multiple sensory systems to confirm that potential mates are indeed ...

Barely perceptible low-frequency signals nevertheless activate measurable responses in our auditory circuits. Neurobiologists have now characterized the remarkable impact of low-frequency sounds on ...

Tinnitus, a relentless ringing in the ears known to disable soldiers exposed to blasts, unwary listeners of too-loud music and millions more, is the result of under-inhibition of key neural pathways ...
