Brain-derived nerve growth factor in the treatment of sensorineural hearing loss.

30 Jul 2009 OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS: A possible medical treatment for sensorineural hearing loss using brain-derived nerve growth factor (BDNF) was explored. The hypothesis is that direct intracochlear application of BDNF will result in improved hearing. STUDY ... Read more...

GABA shapes selectivity for the rate and direction of frequency-modulated sweeps in the auditory cortex.

22 Jun 2009 In the pallid bat auditory cortex and inferior colliculus (IC), the majority of neurons tuned in the echolocation range is selective for the direction and rate of frequency-modulated (FM) sweeps used in echolocation. Such selectivity is shaped ... Read more...

In vivo infusion of UTP and uridine to the deafened guinea pig inner ear: effects on response thresholds and neural survival.

13 May 2009 Nucleotides and nucleosides are known to function as neurotransmitters and neuromodulators but have recently been shown to have a trophic effect on neurons. It has previously been shown, in an animal model for cochlear implants, that local infusion ... Read more...
