Hearing loss often results in tinnitus and auditory cortical map changes, leading to the
prevailing view that the phantom perception is associated with cortical reorganization. However, …

Hearing loss is a major risk factor for tinnitus, hyperacusis, and central auditory processing
disorder. Although recent studies indicate that hearing loss causes neuroinflammation in the …

To understand the cellular basis of learning and memory, the neurophysiology of the
hippocampus has been largely examined in thin transverse slice preparations. However, the …

Transient potassium current channels (I A channels), which are expressed in most brain
areas, have a central role in modulating feedforward and feedback inhibition along the …

Various electrophysiological and imaging techniques have been studied for the diagnosis
and treatment of epilepsy. In particular, electrocorticography (ECoG) provides valuable …

Tinnitus induced by hearing loss is caused primarily by irreversible damage to the peripheral
auditory system, which results in abnormal neural responses and frequency map disruption …

Partial hearing loss often results in enlarged representations of the remaining hearing
frequency range in primary auditory cortex (AI). Recent studies have implicated certain types of …

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a major cause of neurological disorder and death in civilian and
