Noise exposure is known to affect auditory structures in living organisms. However, it should
not be ignored that many of the effects of noise are extra-auditory. Previous findings of our …

Sound is an important part of man's contact with the environment and has served as critical
means for survival throughout his evolution. As a result of exposure to noise, physiological …

Central nervous system (CNS) development is a very complex process that can be altered
by environmental stimuli such as noise, which can generate long-term auditory and/or extra …

Background: Chronic exposure to noise induces changes on the central nervous system of
exposed animals. Those changes affect not only the auditory system but also other …

Noise exposure can cause structural and functional problem in the auditory cortex (AC) and
hippocampus, the two brain regions in the auditory and non-auditory systems respectively …

It has been previously shown that different extra-auditory alterations can be induced in
animals exposed to noise at 15 days. However, data regarding exposure of younger …

The neural mechanisms underlying the impacts of noise on nonauditory function, particularly
learning and memory, remain largely unknown. Here, we demonstrate that rats exposed …

Living organisms are exposed to potentially hazardous noise levels coming from the
environment. Besides the direct effect on hearing, extra-auditory noise-associated effects …

Increasing evidence indicates that chronic exposure to environmental noise may
permanently affect the central nervous system. The aim of this study was to evaluate the long …

Living in big cities might involuntarily expose people to high levels of noise causing auditory
and/or extra‐auditory impairments, including adverse effects on central nervous system …
