This chapter outlines the anatomy and physiology of the auditory pathways. After a brief
analysis of the external, middle ears, and cochlea, the responses of auditory nerve fibers are …

The auditory thalamus, or medial geniculate body (MGB), is the primary sensory input to
auditory cortex. Therefore, it plays a critical role in the complex auditory processing …

Neuroscience research has exploded, with more than fifty thousand neuroscientists applying
increasingly advanced methods. A mountain of new facts and mechanisms has emerged …

Key points Medial geniculate body (MGB) single units recorded from sound‐exposed
animals with behavioural evidence of tinnitus exhibits enhanced spontaneous firing and …

The Common Marmoset in Captivity and Biomedical Research is the first text dedicated
exclusively to this species, filling an urgent need for an encyclopedic compilation of the …

How the cerebral cortex encodes auditory features of biologically important sounds,
including speech and music, is one of the most important questions in auditory …

The functions of the medial geniculate body (MGB) in normal hearing still remain somewhat
enigmatic, in part due to the relatively unexplored properties of the non-lemniscal MGB …

Tinnitus perception depends on the presence of its neural correlates within the auditory
neuraxis and associated structures. Targeting specific circuits and receptors within the …

While task-dependent changes have been demonstrated in auditory cortex for a number of
behavioral paradigms and mammalian species, less is known about how behavioral state …

Age-related hearing loss is a complex disorder affecting a majority of the elderly population.
As people age, speech understanding becomes a challenge especially in complex acoustic …
