Rats make excellent models for the study of medical, biological, genetic, and behavioral
phenomena given their adaptability, robustness, survivability, and intelligence. The rat's …

Ototoxicity refers to the damage to structures and function of the auditory-vestibular system
caused by exogenous agents such as pharmaceuticals, chemicals, and ionizing radiation …

Epidemiological evidence concerning effects of simultaneous exposure to noise and
benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, xylene, and styrene (BTEXS) on renal function remains …

Purpose A growing body of evidence suggests that military service members and military
veterans are at risk for deficits in central auditory processing. Risk factors include exposure …

Purpose Several military occupations, particularly those within the US Air Force, require

ABSTRACT A fundamental property of first-order sensory neurons is the ability to alter their
response properties as a function of change in the statistical parameters of an input signal …

Degenerate neural circuits exhibit “different” circuit properties yet produce similar circuit
outcomes (many-to-one) which ensures circuit robustness and complexity. However …

We describe three patients diagnosed with bilateral vestibular dysfunction associated with
the jet propellant type-eight (JP-8) fuel exposure. Chronic exposure to aromatic and aliphatic …
