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.
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 ...
Neuroscientists at TU Dresden were able to prove that speech recognition in humans begins in the sensory pathways from the ear to the cerebral cortex and not, as previously assumed, exclusively in the ...
Scientists have discovered an earlier origin to the human language pathway in the brain, pushing back its evolutionary origin by at least 20 million years. Previously, a precursor of the language ...
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 ...
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 ...
In the ventriloquism aftereffect, brief exposure to a consistent spatial disparity between auditory and visual stimuli leads to a subsequent shift in subjective sound localization toward the positions ...
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 ...
When bats can't hear, new research finds that these hearing-dependent animals employ a remarkable compensation strategy. They adapt immediately and robustly, suggesting for the first time that bats' ...
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 ...
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 ...
