According to a new study, brief exposure to mild trauma or sudden sounds can permanently alter neural networks and form long lasting memories.
According to a new study, some inner ear nerve cells can signal tissue damage to the brain.
Researchers have discovered a molecular chain of events that enable cells in the inner ear to practice processing sounds during development.
By manipulating two genes, researchers have been able to regenerate immature auditory hair cells.
Lip reading causes brain activity to synchronize with sound waves, even when there is no audible sound.
Researchers discover when the bass line of a song is loud and solid, we have an easier time following the rhythm.
A new study reports older adults who feel negatively about aging may also lack confidence about their ability to hear and remember things, ultimately affecting their performance on memory and hearing tests.
Researchers have identified a new protein, CIB2, that is key to helping the auditory system to turn soundwaves into meaningful brain signals. Mutations of this gene leave people unable to convert the soundwaves into signals that the brain can interpret, and are deaf.
Researchers discover that a key piece of the scientific model used to help explain how humans perceive sound is wrong.
