A study has demonstrated a new technique for mapping the human auditory pathway, granting insights into the development of the auditory-language network in children with profound hearing loss.

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 ...

Sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) is a common feature in the postasphyxial syndrome in newborns. Several anesthetic drugs have been proposed to attenuate secondary neuronal injury elicited by ...

The discovery is analogous to finding a fossil that illuminates evolutionary history. However, unlike bones, brains did not fossilize. Thus, neuroscientists infer what the brains of common ancestors ...

Hernández-Peón, Scherrer and Jouvet 1 have reported marked decrements in the amplitude of click-evoked responses in the cochlear nucleus in cats attending to stimuli of other sensory modalities. It ...

Auditory brainstem response (ABR) testing is widely used in auditory research to non-invasively assess the integrity and function of the auditory pathway, from the cochlea to the brainstem. It ...

Located on the surface of the temporal lobes, the primary auditory cortex of each hemisphere processes input from the opposite ear. Cranial nerves, however, communicate with both hemispheres. For ...

Mammal brains, unlike bones, do not fossilize. This fact presents a conundrum for scientists trying to understand how we came to be how we are. For example, scientists have long argued over how humans ...

The brains of odontocetes (toothed whales) look grossly different from their terrestrial relatives. Because of their adaptation to the aquatic environment and their reliance on echolocation, the ...

The human language pathway in the brain has been identified by scientists as being at least 25 million years old -- 20 million years older than previously thought. Scientists have discovered an ...

University of Maryland biologists identified a hidden sensory talent in geckos that’s shaking up what we thought we knew about animal hearing. In a new study published in Current Biology on October 4, ...
