McEwanAbstractBackgroundGastrocnemius medialis (GM) and lateralis (GL) act at the ankle complex in the sagittal and frontal planes and there is evidence that their actions can be somewhat uncoupled from each other. Some independence of GM and GL from each other could be advantageous, e.g. to stabilise the ankle complex in unstable...

Therefore, dual tasks during split-belt adaptation are being explored for their potential in gait symmetry rehabilitation. However, the ideal paradigm configuration it is still not clear.Research...

However, only a few studies on rodents have used control conditions that were sufficient in eliminating confounding factors that could also explain...

Frequency Therapeutics has commenced dosing in a Phase 2a clinical study of FX-322, a drug designed to regenerate auditory hair cells and restore hearing function. This multi-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study aims to further establish the positive hearing signal observed in a Phase 1/2 study, including improved clarity of sound and word recognition. Frequency also hopes to evaluate safety and define the potential dosing regimen in this study expected to enroll 96 adults aged...

WernerAbstractIn modern Cetacea, the ear bone complex comprises the tympanic and periotic bones forming the tympano-periotic complex (TPC), differing from temporal bone complexes of other mammals in form, construction, position, and possibly function. To elucidate its functioning in sound transmission, we studied the vibration response...

Wijetillake, Richard J.M. van Hoesel, Robert CowanAbstractSequential stream segregation on the basis of binaural ‘ear-of-entry’, modulation rate and electrode place-of-stimulation cues was investigated in bilateral cochlear implant (CI) listeners using a rhythm anisochrony detection task. Sequences of alternating ‘A’ and ‘B’ bursts were presented via direct electrical stimulation and comprised either an isochronous...

Publication date: Available online 9 October 2019Source: Hearing ResearchAuthor(s): Lingyun Zhao, Sabyasachi Roy, Xiaoqin WangAbstractHumans and some animal species show flexibility in vocal production either voluntarily or in response to environmental cues. Studies have shown rapid spectrotemporal changes in speech or vocalizations during altered auditory feedback in humans, songbirds and bats. Non-human primates, however, have long been considered lacking the ability to modify spectrotemporal structures...
