One of the fundamental questions in sensory neuroscience is how do neurochemical signalling molecules (neurotransmitters and neuromodulators) influence the physiology of neuronal ensembles that ...

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 ...

Auditory processing is the term used to describe what happens when your brain recognizes and interprets the sounds around you. Humans hear when energy that we recognize as sound travels through the ...

Neuroscientists say the brain's auditory lexicon, a catalog of verbal language, is actually located in the front of the primary auditory cortex, not in back of it -- a finding that upends a ...

An interview with a prominent researcher addresses common questions and helps untangle the auditory neuroscience underlying ...

Understanding Auditory Processing Disorder (APD) Auditory Processing Disorder represents a complex hearing challenge that affects how the brain interprets sounds despite normal hearing thresholds. It ...

Recent insight into the genetic bases for autism spectrum disorder, dyslexia, stuttering, and language disorders suggest that neurogenetic approaches may also reveal at least one etiology of auditory ...

New predictors found: Auditory processing and comprehension-knowledge emerged as the strongest predictors of reading ability, surpassing visual processing and general intelligence. Why it matters: The ...

Dr. Arehart’s primary area of expertise in both teaching and research was audiology and hearing science. She was head of the Hearing Research Laboratory. The laboratory’s research focuses on ...

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 ...

Ever find yourself saying “What?” even though you understood the gist of the conversation? This seemingly small habit could reveal something deeper. Research ...
