The paper identifies neural gain alterations in individuals with exceptional hearing thresholds who report tinnitus or listening problems, linking these to specific auditory reflex and cortical response changes.

This study investigates the role of the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex in auditory learning, finding it accelerates implicit anchoring of predictable sound patterns but does not affect implicit consolidation.

This study investigates how subtle sensory lesions alter neural coding efficiency in the auditory system by analyzing neural responses to different sound intensity distributions.

This study shows that disrupting dlPFC activity impairs learning of room acoustics, revealing a reverberation 'sweet spot' for speech understanding in noisy environments.

The paper demonstrates that ultrafast non-quantal transmission underlies short-latency vestibular evoked potentials in guinea pigs.

A survey of experts challenges the belief that stria vascularis damage is the primary cause of presbycusis, showing most favor OHC damage instead.

This study characterizes Mayer wave oscillations in fNIRS signals using a physiologically informed model and evaluates the impact of short-channel correction on reducing these oscillations.

This study compares the predictive power of oxygenated and de-oxygenated hemoglobin signals in fNIRS data for experimental condition classification, finding oxygenated hemoglobin provides better differentiation.

This study compares averaging and GLM-based analyses of fNIRS data from a block-design auditory paradigm, finding similar results but improved detection with systemic hemodynamic correction.

This paper develops a computational model of the auditory brainstem to show how adaptation in cochlear nuclei improves spatial encoding by the medial superior olive in reverberant environments.

The paper models LSO neurons to replicate human sensitivity to envelope interaural time difference (ITDENV) across varying frequencies and modulation rates.

The paper shows that the MOC reflex enhances speech understanding by gating auditory signals in degraded or noisy environments, with different brain regions engaged depending on the type of speech challenge.
