When we are engaged in a task, our brain's auditory system changes how it works. One of the main auditory centers of the brain, the auditory cortex, is filled with neural activity that is not ...

Understanding how the brain learns and applies rules is the key to unraveling the neural basis of flexible behavior. A new ...

The brain does not need its sophisticated cortex to interpret the visual world. A new study published in PLOS Biology ...

The auditory brain receives sound information sent from lower levels of the auditory system and acts as a relay station for auditory perception. In individuals with sensorineural hearing loss, sound ...

Ah, dishes. Love 'em or hate 'em, that's one chore no one can escape. Much like Sisyphus, we are all bound to scrubbing those ceramic pots and trying to play Jenga with the top and bottom dishwasher ...

Infants born deaf or hard of hearing show adverse changes in how their brains organize and specialize, but exposure to sound and language may help them develop more normally, according to new research ...

Single-nucleus transcriptomic and histopathological analyses of the cochlea of aged macaques identified multiple features of degeneration, including accelerated hair cell loss, senescence of spiral ...

New study combines a novel approach using patterned optogenetics with electrophysiology, circuit mapping, and computational ...

The amygdala is part of the limbic system, which regulates emotional and behavioral responses. An amygdala hijack is a fight-or-flight response to stress. To better understand what an amygdala hijack ...
