Connectome alterations following perinatal deafness in the cat
2024, NeuroImageDichotic listening deficits in amblyaudia are characterized by aberrant neural oscillations in auditory cortex
2021, Clinical NeurophysiologyCitation Excerpt :A unilateral deficit during dichotic listening tasks has long been attributed to callosal dysfunction (Musiek, 1983; Musiek and Weihing, 2011), though later studies have recognized that functional asymmetries along the auditory pathway might provide a basis for the disorder, possibly as low as the brainstem superior olivary complex (Hiscock and Kinsbourne, 2011; Moncrieff et al., 2008; Tollin, 2003). Otitis media, closed-head injuries, and co-morbid disabilities in early childhood may contribute to periods of auditory deprivation that are well known to produce structural and functional abnormalities in the brainstem (Clopton and Silverman, 1977; Coleman and O'Connor, 1979; Moore and Irvine, 1981; Popescu and Polley, 2010; Silverman and Clopton, 1977; Smith et al., 1983; Webster and Webster, 1979) that may lead to AMB. With altered auditory input during development, the brain may recalibrate central auditory circuits to compensate for transient periods of hearing loss from the affected ear(s). Long-term consequences of such perceptual deficits may lead to linguistic, cognitive, and social concomitants that further outweigh this compensatory mechanism (Keating and King, 2013; Popescu and Polley, 2010), leading to poorer binaural hearing skills.
Animal and human studies on developmental monaural hearing loss
2019, Hearing ResearchCitation Excerpt :Mammals, instead, likely extract spatial information by a population code from all binaurally-sensitive neurons in absence of ordered topological maps (Grothe et al., 2010). This coding may be the reason why such compensatory remapping in binaural sensitivity following unilateral hearing loss in owls is not found in mammals (Brugge et al., 1985; Clopton and Silverman, 1977; Moore and Irvine, 1981a, 1981b; Silverman and Clopton, 1977; Tillein et al., 2016). Mammals rather reweight the behavioral importance of individual cues (e.g. by putting more emphasis on unchanged monaural cues, see above).
Reversible external auditory canal ligation (REACL): A novel surgical technique to induce transient and reversible hearing loss in developing rats
2019, Journal of Neuroscience MethodsCitation Excerpt :Finally, we do not believe that the REACL techniques described here are difficult to master, particularly for anyone trained to perform surgeries under microscope for electrophysiological recordings. Standard EACL procedures typically consist in placing two sutures, one proximal and one distal in the EAC, and then in removing the skin in between the two sutures, allowing it to heal by fibrosis (Brugge et al., 1985; Clopton and Silverman, 1977; Coleman, 1981; Coleman et al., 1982; Coleman and O’Connor, 1979; Moore and Irvine, 1981; Silverman and Clopton, 1977). Although the previous technique successfully induced atresia and subsequent hearing loss, it is not a reversible procedure.
