Function and plasticity of the medial olivocochlear system in musicians: a review

X Perrot, L Collet - Hearing research, 2014 - Elsevier
The outer hair cells of the organ of Corti are the target of abundant efferent projections from

[HTML][HTML] Medial efferent mechanisms in children with auditory processing disorders

SK Mishra - Frontiers in human neuroscience, 2014 - frontiersin.org
Auditory processing disorder (APD) affects about 2–5% of children. However, the nature of
this disorder is poorly understood. Children with APD typically have difficulties in complex …

[HTML][HTML] Top-down influences of the medial olivocochlear efferent system in speech perception in noise

SK Mishra, ME Lutman - PLoS One, 2014 - journals.plos.org
One of the putative functions of the medial olivocochlear (MOC) system is to enhance signal
detection in noise. The objective of this study was to elucidate the role of the MOC system in …

Aging of the medial olivocochlear reflex and associations with speech perception

Influence of 100 Hz amplitude modulation on the human medial olivocochlear reflex

S Boothalingam, D Purcell, S Scollie - Neuroscience Letters, 2014 - Elsevier
It is well known that medial olivocochlear system (MOC) activity causes inhibition of cochlear
amplification that can be measured using otoacoustic emissions (OAEs). The temporal …

Descending auditory pathway and identification of phonetic contrast by native listeners

U Shastri, HM Mythri, UA Kumar - The Journal of the Acoustical Society …, 2014 - pubs.aip.org
The present study investigated the ability of native listeners to identify subtle phonetic
contrasts in nonsense words and its relationship with the contralateral inhibition of transient …

Attentional modulation of medial olivocochlear inhibition: evidence for immaturity in children

SK Mishra - Hearing research, 2014 - Elsevier
Efferent feedback shapes afferent auditory processing. Auditory attention has been shown to
modulate medial olivocochlear (MOC) efferent activity in human adults. Since auditory …
