Efferent feedback slows cochlear aging.
The inner ear receives two types of efferent feedback from the brainstem: one pathway provides gain control on outer hair cells' contribution to cochlear amplification, and the other modulates the excitability of the cochlear nerve. Although efferent feedback can protect hair cells from acoustic injury and thereby minimize noise-induced permanent threshold shifts, most prior studies focused on ...
متن کاملEfferent feedback minimizes cochlear neuropathy from moderate noise exposure.
Although protective effects of the cochlea's efferent feedback pathways have been well documented, prior work has focused on hair cell damage and cochlear threshold elevation and, correspondingly, on the high sound pressure levels (>100 dB SPL) necessary to produce them. Here we explore the noise-induced loss of cochlear neurons that occurs with lower-intensity exposures and in the absence of p...
متن کاملRapamycin slows aging in mice.
Rapamycin increases lifespan in mice, but whether this represents merely inhibition of lethal neoplastic diseases, or an overall slowing in multiple aspects of aging is currently unclear. We report here that many forms of age-dependent change, including alterations in heart, liver, adrenal glands, endometrium, and tendon, as well as age-dependent decline in spontaneous activity, occur more slow...
متن کاملRapamycin slows down gut aging
in the researches being carried out to combat aging using drug therapy. Few specific drugs like Metformin, Rapamycin and Resveratrol have displayed promising results in anti-aging research of mice, fruit fly and worm. Basically these drugs interfere genetically with the important aging pathways such as IIS, TOR, and NAD+ dependent pathway, and results in lifespan extension in a number of specie...
متن کاملEffect of human auditory efferent feedback on cochlear gain and compression.
The mammalian auditory system includes a brainstem-mediated efferent pathway from the superior olivary complex by way of the medial olivocochlear system, which reduces the cochlear response to sound (Warr and Guinan, 1979; Liberman et al., 1996). The human medial olivocochlear response has an onset delay of between 25 and 40 ms and rise and decay constants in the region of 280 and 160 ms, respe...
