How does the brain prepare to hear before birth? Johns Hopkins researchers discovered an internal neural "shortcut" that ...

Although auditory encoding of music is robust early in infancy, the transformation of this input into movement patterns develops substantially over the first postnatal year, without reaching full ...

When we are engaged in a task, our brain's auditory system changes how it works. One of the main auditory centers of the brain, the auditory cortex, is filled with neural activity that is not ...

Last week, Pennsylvania Lt. Gov. John Fetterman—the Democratic nominee in one of the country's most-watched U.S. Senate races—explained that his stroke nearly four months ago has left him with some ...

Auditory processing disorder (APD) is when the brain cannot interpret sounds correctly. People may also refer to APD as central auditory processing disorder. People with APD may find it difficult to ...

Hearing loss in adults is encountered in all medical settings and frequently influences medical encounters. This disorder constitutes a substantial burden on the adult population in the United States, ...

Here we propose an alternative model of functional segregation in the auditory cortex. Our model agrees that the ventral pathway is probably involved in perceiving auditory objects by extracting ...

After years of research, neuroscientists have discovered a new pathway in the human brain that processes the sounds of language. The findings, reported August 18 in the journal Cell, suggest that ...
