Adaptation is an essential feature of auditory neurons, which reduces their responses to
unchanging and recurring sounds and allows their response properties to be matched to the …

The auditory system transforms auditory stimuli from the external environment into
perceptual auditory objects. Recent studies have focused on the contribution of the auditory …

Cochlear outer hair cells (OHCs) are responsible for the exquisite frequency selectivity and
sensitivity of mammalian hearing. During development, the maturation of OHC afferent …

Age-related hearing loss (presbycusis) affects one-third of the world's population. One
hallmark of presbycusis is difficulty hearing in noisy environments. Presbycusis can be …

Brain-wide patterns in resting human brains, as either structured functional connectivity (FC)
or recurring brain states, have been widely studied in the neuroimaging literature. In …

Opioid use by pregnant women results in neonatal opioid withdrawal syndrome (NOWS)
and lifelong neurobehavioral deficits including language impairments. Animal models of …

Age-related auditory dysfunction, presbycusis, is caused in part by functional changes in the
auditory cortex (ACtx) such as altered response dynamics and increased population …

A common impairment in aging is age-related hearing loss (presbycusis), which manifests
as impaired spectrotemporal processing. Aging is accompanied by alteration in normal …

Predictive coding theory postulates that the brain achieves perception by actively making
predictions about the incoming sensory information and correcting them if errors signals …

Many animal training paradigms rely on head-fixation. Head-fixation training is typically
laborious and can benefit from automation to relieve the workload as well as to reduce the …
