Researchers have developed a non-invasive method for mapping the human auditory pathway, which could potentially be used as a tool to help clinicians decide the best surgical strategy for patients ...

Here we propose an alternative model of functional segregation in the auditory cortex. Our model agrees that the ventral pathway is probably involved in perceiving auditory objects by extracting ...

After years of research, neuroscientists have discovered a new pathway in the human brain that processes the sounds of language. The findings, reported August 18 in the journal Cell, suggest that ...

Researchers have shed new light on the language pathway in the human brain, suggesting that its origins lie around 25 million years ago—twenty million years earlier than previously thought. Brain ...

Researchers discover that geckos use a mechanism usually associated with balance to sense vibrations, leading to new insights about how animals hear and feel their surroundings. University of Maryland ...

When bats can't hear, new research finds that these hearing-dependent animals employ a remarkable compensation strategy. They adapt immediately and robustly, suggesting for the first time that bats' ...

Scientists have discovered an earlier origin to the human language pathway in the brain, pushing back its evolutionary origin by at least 20 million years. Previously, a precursor of the language ...

University of Maryland biologists identified a hidden sensory talent in geckos that’s shaking up what we thought we knew about animal hearing. In a new study published in Current Biology on October 4, ...
