Sensory and environmental manipulations affect the development of sensory systems.
Higher-order auditory representations (auditory categories or “objects”) evolve with …

Cochlear implants have been implanted in over 110,000 deaf adults and children worldwide
and provide these patients with important auditory cues necessary for auditory awareness …

Hearing in profoundly deaf people can be helped by inserting an implant into the inner ear
to stimulate the cochlear nerve. This also boosts the low metabolic activity of the auditory …

The upper regions of the brain's temporal lobe are important both for hearing and for
comprehending spoken language. We have discovered that these regions can be activated …

Recent work suggests that once the auditory cortex of deaf persons has been reorganized
by cross-modal plasticity, it can no longer respond to signals from a cochlear implant (CI) …

We have constructed complex two-dimensional microscopic networks of phospholipid
bilayer nanotubes and containers in which we are able to control the connectivity, container …

The efficacy of cochlear implants in children who are deaf has been firmly established in the
literature. However, the effectiveness of cochlear implants varies widely and is influenced by …

Congenital deafness results in abnormal synaptic structure in endings of the auditory nerve.
If these abnormalities persist after restoration of auditory nerve activity by a cochlear implant …

The study of congenitally deaf individuals provides a unique opportunity to understand the
organization and potential for reorganization of human auditory cortex. We used magnetic …

This study aimed to investigate the relationship between outcome following cochlear
implantation and auditory cortical activation. It also studied the effects of length of implant …
