Toothed whales use sound to find their way around, detect objects and catch fish. They can investigate their environment by making clicking sounds, and then decoding the “echoic return signal” created ...

A new study by researchers at Ruhr University Bochum and Philipps-Universität Marburg has explored how deep brain stimulation positively impacts patients with Parkinson’s disease Parkinson’s disease ...

Persons with Parkinson's disease increasingly lose their mobility over time and are eventually unable to walk. Hope for these patients rests on deep brain stimulation, also known as a brain pacemaker.

Researchers are investigating the mechanisms and identifying new areas of the brain that can benefit patients when stimulated. Persons with Parkinson's disease increasingly lose their mobility over ...

This work made a lot of efforts to explore the multifaceted roles of the inferior colliculus (IC) in auditory processing, extending beyond traditional sensory encoding. The authors recorded neuronal ...

New research reveals that an area in the brain known as the inferior colliculus plays a critical role in processing both sound and touch in the form of mechanical vibrations to create an augmented ...

Ludwig van Beethoven began to lose his hearing at age 28 and was deaf by age 44. While the cause of his hearing loss remains a topic of scientific debate and ongoing revision, one thing is clear: ...

Abstract: Both a perceived low frequency shift by cochlear implant patients in response to high stimulus levels and a perceived lower pitch for place of electrical stimulation have previously been ...

The second planet from the sun is approaching 'inferior conjunction' as it swaps from being the 'Evening Star' to the 'Morning Star,' passing between Earth and the sun in the meantime. When you ...
