Predicting cochlear synaptopathy in mice with varying degrees of outer hair cell dysfunction using auditory evoked potentials

This study compares ABR, SAM EFR, and RAM EFR to predict cochlear synaptopathy in mice with varying outer hair cell dysfunction, finding RAM EFR best predicts broad synapse loss while ABR best predicts focal synaptopathy.

ABRpresto: An algorithm for automatic thresholding of the Auditory Brainstem Response using resampled cross-correlation across subaverages

ABRpresto automatically estimates ABR thresholds using resampled cross-correlation across subaverages, achieving 92% accuracy within ±10 dB of human ratings on mouse data.

Optimizing auditory brainstem response acquisition using interleaved frequencies

This paper develops an interleaved stimulus design and open-source software to optimize auditory brainstem response acquisition by reducing adaptation effects and acquisition time.

Streaming of repeated noise in primary and secondary fields of auditory cortex

The paper demonstrates stream segregation in auditory cortex by showing enhanced neural responses to repeating foreground stimuli compared to background noise in ferrets.

Pupil-associated states modulate excitability but not stimulus selectivity in primary auditory cortex

The paper examines how pupil size fluctuations affect neural activity and selectivity in auditory cortex, finding increased excitability but stable stimulus selectivity.
