Temporal sound processing can be maintained in mouse models of congenital hearing loss with exposure to broadband sounds embedded with pauses, a new study reports.
The brain activity response to sound in older children with hearing loss was lower than their peers with normal hearing.
Nonverbal children on the autism spectrum have a slower response to auditory stimulation. The longer response times were associated with poor communication skills. Brain imaging of the auditory cortex could serve as a biomarker for measuring the likelihood of language impairment in those with ASD.
The brain adjusts the attention it gives to identical sounds the moment they are perceived in the brainstem.
In as little as two years of learning, music can change the structure of the brain's white matter and boost networks implicated in decision making in children, USC researchers report.
Researchers have identified a neural population in the auditory cortex that responds selectively to sounds categorized as music.
A new study reports mustached bats use both sides of their brains to process different aspects of sounds.
Researchers report when it comes to memory, we don't remember things we hear as well as things we see.
Researchers find simulated blindness in adult mice sharpens the animal's hearing.
