Reverse Engineering Tone-Deafness: Disrupting Pitch-Matching by Creating Temporary Dysfunctions in the Auditory-Motor Network
Perceiving and producing vocal sounds are important functions of the auditory-motor system and are fundamental to communication. Prior studies have identified a network of brain regions involved in pitch production, specifically pitch matching. Here we reverse engineer the function of the auditory perception-production network by targeting specific cortical regions (e.g., right and left posteri...
متن کاملTemporary Neurotrophin Treatment Prevents Deafness-Induced Auditory Nerve Degeneration and Preserves Function.
After substantial loss of cochlear hair cells, exogenous neurotrophins prevent degeneration of the auditory nerve. Because cochlear implantation, the current therapy for profound sensorineural hearing loss, depends on a functional nerve, application of neurotrophins is being investigated. We addressed two questions important for fundamental insight into the effects of exogenous neurotrophins on...

متن کاملTesting the limits of the semantic illusion phenomenon: ERPs reveal temporary semantic change deafness in discourse comprehension.
In general, language comprehension is surprisingly reliable. Listeners very rapidly extract meaning from the unfolding speech signal, on a word-by-word basis, and usually successfully. Research on 'semantic illusions' however suggests that under certain conditions, people fail to notice that the linguistic input simply doesn't make sense. In the current event-related brain potentials (ERP) stud...
متن کاملSudden deafness
The author explains the clinical presentation, pathophysiology, diagnostic work-up, and management of sudden deafness. "Sudden" deafness is defined as sensorineural hearing loss of 30 decibels or more in at least 3 contiguous frequencies occurring over less than 3 days. The pathophysiology of sudden deafness is poorly understood. Various theories have been proposed, including those attributing ...
