Voice experiments in people with epilepsy have helped trace the circuit of electrical signals in the brain that allow its hearing center to sort out background sounds from their own voices. Such ...

Oligodendrocytes with different morphological features work together to support precise binaural integration for sound localization in the chick brainstem auditory circuit.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, Vol. 109, No. 7 (February 14, 2012), pp. 2607-2612 (6 pages) Most animals exhibit innate auditory behaviors driven by ...

During vocal exchanges, hearing specific auditory signals can provoke vocal responses or suppress vocalizations to avoid interference. These abilities result in the widespread phenomenon of vocal turn ...

Scientists have identified an ingeniously elegant brain circuit consisting of just five nerve cells that allows female crickets to automatically identify the chirps of males from the same species ...

In the Marcotti lab, we use mammalian and zebrafish models to elucidate how the auditory system develops and functions. Our research is also aimed at understanding the cause of deafness and ...
