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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Physiological recordings in animals, including humans, have been consistent with two pathways in auditory regions, but conclusive evidence was lacking. Now, researchers have separated the "what" and ...

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 ...

After years of research, neuroscientists have discovered a new pathway in the human brain that processes the sounds of language. The findings, reported August 18 in the journal Cell, suggest that ...

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, ...

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 ...
