All components of the CNS are surrounded by a diffuse extracellular matrix (ECM)
containing chondroitin sulphate proteoglycans (CSPGs), heparan sulphate proteoglycans …

Neuroplasticity can be defined as the ability of the nervous system to respond to intrinsic or
extrinsic stimuli by reorganizing its structure, function and connections. Major advances in …

Objective: Examine the influence of age at implant on speech perception, language, and
speech production outcomes in a large unselected paediatric cohort. Study Design: This …

Cortical development is dependent on stimulus-driven learning. The absence of sensory
input from birth, as occurs in congenital deafness, affects normal growth and connectivity …

The fourth edition of Children With Hearing Loss: Developing Listening and Talking, Birth to
Six is a dynamic compilation of important information for the facilitation of spoken language …

The modern cochlear implant (CI) is the most successful neural prosthesis developed to
date. CIs provide hearing to the profoundly hearing impaired and allow the acquisition of …

Background: Identifying factors that contribute to the wide range of language outcomes in
children who use CIs will assist healthcare and rehabilitation professionals in optimizing …

We examined the longitudinal development of the cortical auditory evoked potential (CAEP)
in 21 children who were fitted with unilateral cochlear implants and in two children who were …

This review explores cross-modal cortical plasticity as a result of auditory deprivation in
populations with hearing loss across the age spectrum, from development to adulthood …

This review traces the structural maturation of the human auditory system, and compares the
timeline of anatomical development with cotemporaneous physiological and behavioral …
