Friend or foe: Risso’s dolphins eavesdrop on conspecific sounds to induce or avoid intra-specific interaction
The detection and use of emitters’ signals by unintended receivers, i.e., eavesdrop**, represents an important and often low-cost way for animals...

Expression of the human usherin c.2299delG mutation leads to early-onset auditory loss and stereocilia disorganization
Usher syndrome (USH) is the leading cause of combined deafness and blindness, with USH2A being the most prevalent form. The mechanisms responsible...

Effect of Motion Trajectory on the Lateralization of Auditory Evoked Responses
AbstractProcessing of acoustic space in the human auditory system implicates the interaction of the left and right hemispheres of the brain. In this...

Radixin modulates the function of outer hair cell stereocilia
The stereocilia of the inner ear sensory cells contain the actin-binding protein radixin, encoded by RDX . Radixin is important for hearing but...

Neuroethology of auditory systems: contributions in memory of Albert S. Feng
Albert (Al) S. Feng (1944 − 1921) was a pioneer in the area of neuroethology of auditory systems. This special issue of the Journal of Comparative...

Event-Related Potentials in Conditions of Auditory Spatial Masking in Humans
AbstractCurrent study is focused on human event-related potentials (ERPs) elicited in the auditory spatial masking paradigm. ERPs of the test...

fMRI Studies of Opponent Interregional Interactions in the Macaca mulatta Brain
AbstractIn neurophysiological studies, functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) is most commonly used to map brain functions by locating areas of...

AAV-Net1 facilitates the trans-differentiation of supporting cells into hair cells in the murine cochlea
Mechanosensitive hair cells (HCs) in the cochlear sensory epithelium are critical for sound detection and transduction. Mammalian HCs in the cochlea...

Lombard Speech Detection in Case of Spatial Separation between Noise Source and Speakers of Different Genders
AbstractThe spatial selectivity of hearing to speech signals was studied when the target signal and interference were separated by distance between...

Communication by Sound and by Visual, Tactile, and Chemical Sensing
Toothed whales use vision, chemical sensing, and touch for short-range communication, but they produce sounds to communicate over ranges of hundreds...

Effects of Auditory Spatial Masking on the Interhemispheric Asymmetry of Evoked Responses
AbstractThe interhemispheric asymmetry of electrical brain activity was investigated in the conditions of spatial auditory masking. Moving test...

The human OPA1delTTAG mutation induces adult onset and progressive auditory neuropathy in mice
Dominant optic atrophy (DOA) is one of the most prevalent forms of hereditary optic neuropathies and is mainly caused by heterozygous variants in OPA1 ...

Relative divergence of mobbing calls and songs structures in passerine birds
Divergence and convergence in acoustic signals may be driven by different processes. Uncertainty about which of these processes best explains the...

D-galactose-induced mitochondrial oxidative damage and apoptosis in the cochlear stria vascularis of mice
BackgroundAge-related hearing loss, known as presbycusis, is the result of auditory system degeneration. Numerous studies have suggested that...

Conclusion and Perspectives: What Convergent Evolution of Animal Forms and Functions Says About the Predictability of Evolution
Investigations into the convergent evolution of form and function have led to the idea that evolution is, to some extent, predictable. Developmental...
