A fundamental organizing principle of auditory brain circuits is tonotopy, the orderly
representation of the sound frequency to which neurons are most sensitive. Tonotopy arises …

Cochlear inner hair cells (IHCs), the mammalian auditory sensory cells, encode acoustic
signals with high fidelity by Graded variations of their membrane potential trigger rapid and …

OBJECTIVE: The comparatively poor music appreciation in patients with cochlear implants
might be ascribed to an inadequate exposure to music; however, the effect of training on …

Acoustic frequency analysis plays an essential role in sound perception, communication and
behavior. The auditory systems of most vertebrates that perceive sounds in air are organized …

Sensory systems processing information from the environment rely on precisely formed and
refined neuronal networks that build maps of sensory receptor epithelia at different …

Acoustic communication requires gathering, transforming, and interpreting diverse sound
cues. To achieve this, all the spatial and temporal features of complex sound stimuli must be …

Peripheral axons from auditory spiral ganglion neurons (SGNs) form an elaborate series of
radially and spirally oriented projections that interpret complex aspects of the auditory …

In mammals, auditory information is processed by the hair cells (HCs) located in the cochlea
and then rapidly transmitted to the CNS via a specialized cluster of bipolar afferent …

Synaptic refinement via the elimination of inappropriate synapses and strengthening of
appropriate ones is crucially important for the establishment of specific, topographic neural …

Objective To establish the genetic basis of L andau‐K leffner syndrome (LKS) in a cohort of
two discordant monozygotic (MZ) twin pairs and 11 isolated cases. Methods We used a …
