How does the brain prepare to hear before birth? Johns Hopkins researchers discovered an internal neural "shortcut" that ...
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 ...
Nestled in dark burrows, with a limited sense of vision, mice brush their whiskers against their environment to navigate and to detect objects around them. This behavior, termed whisking, has been ...
Stimulating a specific part of the auditory cortex immediately improved speech perception over background noise in an epilepsy patient, according to new research in JNeurosci. To treat severe cases of ...

A gene therapy restored hearing in deaf children, and it is still holding years later
Children born profoundly deaf because of mutations in the OTOF gene are hearing speech, music, and everyday sounds after a single gene therapy infusion, and the gains are holding steady for up to 2.5 ...

Learning to speak may depend less on your mouth than on how your brain hears sound
Researchers have found that the brain’s ability to hear and evaluate its own speech may matter more for learning new vocal ...
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 ...
Researchers have shown that the brain’s primary auditory cortex is more responsive to human vocalizations associated with positive emotions and coming from our left side than to any other kind of ...
The human auditory cortex transforms acoustic input into coherent percepts through a hierarchical network spanning primary, belt and parabelt regions. Early stages in primary auditory cortex are ...
Summary: A new study discovered that randomly played sounds during sleep can actively impair memory consolidation. By ...
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 ...
The auditory cortex processes sound through a hierarchical and parallel architecture, transforming raw acoustic input into perceptual and linguistic representations. Primary auditory areas exhibit ...
