Tinnitus is an auditory phantom sensation (ringing of the ears) experienced when no
external sound is present. Most but not all cases are associated with hearing loss induced …

An important topic in contemporary auditory science is supra-threshold hearing. Difficulty
hearing at conversational speech levels in background noise has long been recognized as …

Periodic envelope fluctuations are a common feature of acoustic communication signals,
and as a result of physical constraints, many natural, nonliving sound sources also produce …

The cochlear nuclear complex gives rise to widespread projections to nuclei throughout the
brainstem. The projections arise from separate, well-defined populations of cells. None of …

This paper examines the relationship between different brainstem cell populations and the
brainstem auditory evoked potential (BAEP). First, we present a mathematical model relating …

▪ Abstract Vertebrate animals gain biologically important information from environmental
sounds. Localization of sound sources enables animals to detect and respond appropriately …

Periodicity pitch is the most salient and important of all pitch percepts. Psychoacoustical
models of this percept have long postulated the existence of internalized harmonic …

In an effort to understand what integrative tasks are performed in the cochlear nuclei, the
present study was undertaken to describe neuronal circuits in the posteroventral cochlear …

Sequencing of the rat genome has allowed a better understanding of the rat physiology and
biology, in turn promising to translate into a better understanding of human biology and …
