Effects of Smoking/nicotine on the Auditory Middle Latency Response in Older and Younger Adults
… in terms of nicotine's effect on the central auditory pathways. The possible interaction of advanced age, hearing loss, and gender are also considered. Several follow-up studies are indicated to clarify the effects of nicotine and advanced age on the AMLR.

Mechanisms of sound localization in mammals: ageing, dynamics and adaption
… humans, to orient and communicate. Since the auditory scene is not static and the brain is also subject to developmental changes, neural plasticity constitutes a crucial factor enabling adaptation to a modified acoustic environment. My thesis comprises three studies, employing different …

The role of auditory sensory input during functional pre- and postsynaptic maturation of the calyx of Held synapse
… compared to those at higher synapses along the auditory pathways. We characterized functional properties of calyx synapses in wildtype (wt) compared to those developing in CaV1.3 subunit-deficient (CaV1.3-/- deaf) mice. The latter are deaf because of absence of glutamate release from IHC and …

Signal detection in the auditory midbrain : neural correlated and mechanisms of spatial release from masking
… colliculus (IC), a major center of converging auditory pathways in the midbrain. We develop a computational model of the neuron responses, which incorporates both interaural cross-correlation (as used in existing binaural models) and amplitude-modulation sensitivity. The need for modulation …

EEG-Based Control of Working Memory Maintenance Using Closed-Loop Binaural Stimulation
… modulations in locations deep within the auditory pathways. One technique is known as binaural beats, which arises from the brain's interpretation of two pure tones, with a small frequency mismatch, delivered independently to each ear. The mismatch between these tones is perceived as a …

Connecting Female Mating Decisions and Male Courtship Strategies in Drosophila
… produce distinct acoustic signals that "jam" the auditory pathways of the female, impeding her detection of the advertising courtship song produced by rival males. Consequently, females are less likely to show receptive behaviors when serenaded by multiple males. Moreover, agonistic wing flicks …
