Many aging adults experience some form of hearing problems that may arise from auditory
peripheral damage. However, it has been increasingly acknowledged that hearing loss is …

The auditory modality is fundamentally a temporal sense that requires analysis of changes
in sound signals on timescales ranging from microseconds to minutes. To generate a faithful …

Myelinating oligodendrocytes enable fast propagation of action potentials along the
ensheathed axons. In addition, oligodendrocytes play diverse non-canonical roles including …

Deficits in auditory nerve (AN) function for older adults reduce afferent input to the cortex.
The extent to which the cortex in older adults adapts to this loss of afferent input and the …

Time provides a fundamental dimension for perceiving sounds (Viemeister & Plack 1993;
Eddins & Green 1995; Phillips 2012). Temporal processing is essential for the detection of …

Background Understanding speech in the presence of background noise often becomes
increasingly difficult with age. These age-related speech processing deficits reflect …

Aging affects the interplay between peripheral and cortical auditory processing. Previous
studies have demonstrated that older adults are less able to regulate afferent sensory …

The localization of neuronal generators during an ERP study, using a high-density
electroencephalogram (HD-EEG) equipment was made on three Evoked Related Potential …

Background Previously alternate nostril yoga breathing (anuloma-viloma pranayama) was
shown to reduce the blood pressure (BP) in people with hypertension. An elevated BP has …

Alzheimer's disease is the most common neurodegenerative disease of Western societies,
