The frequency-following response, or FFR, is a neurophysiological response to sound that
precisely reflects the ongoing dynamics of sound. It can be used to study the integrity and …

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by the presence of
neuritic plaques and neurofibrillary tangles. The impaired synaptic plasticity and dendritic …

Human subcortical auditory processing is sexually dimorphic. The prevailing view–that sex
differences arise from cochlear differences–remains unproven, and the extent to which these …

Mammals have a dorsal cochlear nucleus (DCN), which is thought to be a cerebellum-like
structure with similar features in terms of structure and microcircuitry to the cerebellum. Both …

Simple Summary Monitoring cetacean health is important considering the high strain from
both natural and human-related threats. Most of these, such as Cetacean morbillivirus and …

Introduction Accumulating evidence suggests a role of the brainstem in tinnitus generation
and modulation. Several studies in chronic tinnitus patients have reported latency and …

Previous research has shown that musical beat perception is a surprisingly complex
phenomenon involving widespread neural coordination across higher-order sensory, motor …

Introduction The auditory system of dolphins and whales allows them to dive in dark waters,
hunt for prey well below the limit of solar light absorption, and to communicate with their …

Recent electrophysiological work has evinced a capacity for plasticity in subcortical auditory
nuclei in human listeners. Similar plastic effects have been measured in cortically-generated …

Diagnosis, assessment, and management of sports-related concussion requires a multi-
modal approach. Yet, currently, an objective assessment of auditory processing is not …
