An increasing number of studies show that listeners often have difficulty hearing in situations with background noise, despite normal tuning curves in quiet. One potential source of this difficulty could be sensorineural changes in the auditory …
This study examined projections to combination-sensitive neurons in the medial geniculate body of the mustached bat, These specialized neurons respond to the combination of two temporally and spectrally distinct components of the bat's sonar pulse…
Acetylcholine (ACh) is a neuromodulator that is likely to play a role in plasticity as well as other phenomena at many sites in the auditory system. The auditory cortex receives cholinergic innervation from the basal forebrain, whereas the cochlea…
