CU Anschutz researchers have identified a new mechanism of how auditory sensitivity is regulated, making more sense of how our hearing is so precise -- and providing insight into how we can better ...

This study documents the first time we understand a mechanism that regulates auditory sensitivity on both the molecular and mechanical levels. We uncovered a new mechanism of modulating sensitivity, ...

The auditory system relies on specialised hair cells within the cochlea to convert sound waves into electrical signals. These cells employ unique synaptic structures, known as ribbon synapses, to ...

Supported by a $2 million R01 grant from the National Institutes of Health, the Auerbach Lab at the Beckman Institute for Advanced Science and Technology will examine how different genes associated ...

These two technologies are integrated into a single meta-structure 3D auditory sensor system, which the research team successfully implemented on an actual robot platform. Field tests were conducted ...

Scientists have identified the mechanism by which Williams-Beuren Syndrome enhances the ability to discriminate between sounds as interneuron hyperexcitability in the auditory cortex. Williams-Beuren ...

A recent study has confirmed a longstanding theory about the origins of the ‘voices’ experienced by individuals with schizophrenia. This breakthrough validates a hypothesis that has been debated for ...

AURORA, Colo. (July 22, 2022) – A new study published in PNAS highlights a newly identified mechanism of how auditory sensitivity is regulated that could temporarily reduce sensitivity of the auditory ...
