Tinnitus, sound perception in the absence of physical stimuli, occurs in 15% of the
population and is the top-reported disability for soldiers after combat. Noise overexposure is …

Spatial hearing, and more specifically the ability to localize sounds in space, is one of the
most studied and best understood aspects of hearing. Because there is no coding of …

An ability to integrate information provided by different sensory modalities is a fundamental
feature of neurons in many brain areas. Because visual and auditory inputs often originate …

The pulvinar is a heterogeneous thalamic nucleus, which is well developed in primates. One
of its subdivisions, the medial pulvinar, is connected to many cortical areas, including the …

Unraveling the inner workings of neural circuits entails understanding the cellular origin and
axonal pathfinding of various neuronal groups during development. In the embryonic …

Bushy cells of the ventral cochlear nucleus are time-coding neurons. They receive
axosomatic synaptic terminals from the auditory nerve, the so-called endbulb of Held …

Psychophysical studies characterize hyperacusis as increased loudness growth over a wide-
frequency range, decreased tolerance to loud sounds and reduced behavioral reaction time …

Key points Dorsal cochlear nucleus fusiform cells receive spectrally relevant auditory input
for sound localization. Fusiform cells integrate auditory with other multisensory inputs. Here …

Chronic tinnitus is highly prevalent but lacks precise diagnostic or effective therapeutic
standards. Its onset and treatment mechanisms remain unclear, and there is a shortage of …

The ultrafast and precise single-onset action potential (AP) of the bushy cells (BCs) in the
anteroventral cochlear nucleus (AVCN) plays an important role in precise processing of …
