Researchers have developed a non-invasive method for mapping the human auditory pathway, which could potentially be used as a tool to help clinicians decide the best surgical strategy for patients ...

Auditory Processing Disorders (APDs) in children represent a complex set of difficulties in the perceptual processing of sound despite normal peripheral hearing. These disorders are broadly ...

Physiological recordings in animals, including humans, have been consistent with two pathways in auditory regions, but conclusive evidence was lacking. Now, researchers have separated the "what" and ...

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 ...

Scientists at the Baylor College of Medicine, the Jan and Dan Duncan Neurological Research Institute at Texas Children’s Hospital, and the Oregon Health & Science University have identified and mapped ...

Increasing the expression of a protein responsible for maintaining neuron health led to better-than-normal processing of auditory information, according to a new study. The findings open the door to ...

Imagine being able to hear perfectly but still not understand what people are saying, especially when there’s background noise. That’s the daily experience for someone with central auditory processing ...

A study has demonstrated a new technique for mapping the human auditory pathway, granting insights into the development of the auditory-language network in children with profound hearing loss.
