Book excerpt: Age-related hearing loss is a complex auditory disorder that is associated with a gradual decline of auditory perceptions. Sound localization is one of many auditory perceptions that get impaired in the aged. While sound localization has been studied in great detail at the behavioral level in a variety of young and middle aged animals, little is known about how the neuronal processing breaks down in the aged to impair our perception acoustic space. The current set of studies presented in the forthcoming chapters is part of a series of experiments to develop a primate model of age-related hearing loss that are designed to further our understanding of both the structural and functional changes that accompany aging. In the present series of experiments, several anatomical and electrophysiological studies were designed to characterize and correlate age-related hearing loss in the rhesus macaque monkey (Macaca mulatta) to determine if the auditory system compensates for a reduction in drive from the periphery. A requisite was first to determine if rhesus monkeys experience age-related hearing loss. This was accomplished by linking changes in hearing level to distinct histopathologies in the cochlea. Age-related hearing loss was assessed by the auditory brainstem response (ABR) to clicks and pure tones across a population of rhesus macaque monkeys at the California National Primate Research Center at the University of California of Davis. Histological specimens were then randomly collected and examined for distinct histopathological changes in the cochlea. Multiple regression was used to tease apart the contributions of the observed histopathologies on ABR thresholds. Consistent with findings in humans, rhesus monkeys were found to experience progressive age-related hearing loss with a concomitant increase in the number of histopathologies in the cochlea. We found that spiral ganglion cell loss and outer hair cells loss made significant contributions to ABR threshold increases across the spectrum. At the level of the midbrain, the density of parvalbumin neurons in the inferior colliculus was found to increase with age. Interestingly, there was no direct relationship between the densities of parvalbumin cells in the inferior colliculus with the hearing ability of the monkeys. One explanation for this result is that the increase in the density of parvalbumin neurons produced a functional advantage in the processing of simple stimuli. Lastly, we collected and examined neuronal responses in A1 and CL of young and aged rhesus monkeys to investigate the role of age-related hearing loss on auditory cortical responses to spatial stimuli in azimuth. Interestingly, we found a differential increase in driven firing rates and a decrease in the efficacy of inhibition across defined periods of the neuronal response that contributed to broader spatial tuning properties in both A1 and CL of aged rhesus monkeys. These results suggest that spatial tuning may reflect a maladaptive compensatory mechanism within the central auditory system that overcompensation for changes in the periphery. Overall, the combined results of these studies suggest that the decline of auditory perceptions associated with age-related hearing loss maybe generated by the central nervous systems own mechanisms to adapt to changes in peripheral drive. It is proposed that this process is a major contributor to age-related cognitive decline.

This book was released on 2019-08-22 with total page 512 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Oxford Handbook of The Auditory Brainstem provides an introduction as well as an in-depth reference to the organization and function of ascending and descending auditory pathways in the mammalian brainstem. Individual chapters are organized along the auditory pathway beginning with the cochlea and ending with the auditory midbrain. Each chapter provides an introduction to the respective area, and summarizes our current knowledge before discussing disputes and challenges the field currently faces. A major emphasis throughout this book is on the numerous forms of plasticity that are increasingly observed in many areas of the auditory brainstem. Several chapters focus on neuronal modulation of function and synaptic, neuronal, and circuit plasticity, especially under circumstances when they occur most prominently: during development, aging, and following peripheral hearing loss. In addition, the book addresses the role of trauma-induced maladaptive plasticity with respect to its contribution in generating central hearing dysfunction such as hyperacusis and tinnitus. The book is intended for students and postdocs starting in the auditory field, and researchers of related fields who wish to get an authoritative and up-to-date summary of the current state of auditory brainstem research. For clinical practitioners in audiology, otolaryngology, and neurology, the book is a valuable resource of information about the neuronal mechanisms that are major candidates for the generation of central hearing dysfunction.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Development of Auditory and Vestibular Systems fourth edition presents a global and synthetic view of the main aspects of the development of the stato-acoustic system. Unique to this volume is the joint discussion of two sensory systems that, although close at the embryological stage, present divergences during development and later reveal conspicuous functional differences at the adult stage. This work covers the development of auditory receptors up to the central auditory system from several animal models, including humans. Coverage of the vestibular system, spanning amphibians to effects of altered gravity during development in different species, offers examples of the diversity and complexity of life at all levels, from genes through anatomical form and function to, ultimately, behavior. The new edition of Development of Auditory and Vestibular Systems will continue to be an indispensable resource for beginning scientists in this area and experienced researchers alike. Full-color figures illustrate the development of the stato-acoustic system pathway Covers a broad range of species, from drosophila to humans, demonstrating the diversity of morphological development despite similarities in molecular processes involved at the cellular level Discusses a variety of approaches, from genetic-molecular biology to psychophysics, enabling the investigation of ontogenesis and functional development

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Primates are avid explorers that utilize a variety of sensory clues from the environment. The special senses of olfaction, audition, and particu larly vision are thus of paramount significance in the evolution and adaptive radiation of the primates. It was with this in mind that this volume was planned to present some recent research advances. The chapter on olfactory communication among primates affords new insights concerning a sense which, though primatologists have generally relegated it to a minor role, is of considerable significance in the primates. The chapters on the auditory system are organized to stress three aspects: the receptive organ, the neural pathways, and the role of audition in primate communication. The visual system, the dominant special sense of primates, is analyzed with respect to two regions of the brain, namely, the organization of the superior colliculus and the visual cortex. Finally, the chapter on endocasts in the study of primate brain evolution will alert neurobiologists to the relevant information that can be unearthed from fossils embedded in the terrane. I wish to thank the publishers, and especially Miss Phyllis Straw and Mr. Seymour Weingarten, for their support, patience, guidance, and professional assistance.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: INTEGRATED NEUROSCIENCES This textbook takes as a premise that, in order to make intelligent diagnosis and provide a rational treatment in disorders of the nervous system, it is necessary to develop the capacity to answer the basic questions of clinical neurology: (1) Where is the disease process located? (2) What is the nature of the disease process? The purpose of this textbook is to enable the medical student to acquire the basic information of the neurosciences and neurology and most importantly the ability to apply that information to the solution of clinical problems. The authors also suggest that hospital trips be a part of any Clinical Neurosciences Course so that the student can put into actual practice what he has learned in the classroom. We believe that this textbook will be of value to the student throughout the four years of the medical school curriculum. Medical, psychiatry and neurology residents may also find this text of value as an introduction or review. It is more true in neurology than in any other system of medicine that a firm knowledge of basic science material, that is, the anatomy, physiology and pathology of the nervous system, enables the student and physician to readily arrive at the diagnosis of where the disease process is located and the nature of the most likely pathology. Subsequently that knowledge may be applied to problem solving in clinical situations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In planning The Handbook volumes on Audition, we, the editors, made the decision that there should be many authors, each writing about the work in the field that he knew best through his own research, rather than a few authors who would review areas of research with which they lacked first hand familiarity. For the purposes of the chapters on Audition, sensory physiology has been defined very broadly to include studies from the many disciplines that contribute to our understanding of the structures concerned with hearing and the processes that take place in these structures in man and in lower animals. A number of chapters on special topics have been included in order to present information that might not be covered by the usual chapters dealing with anatomical, physi ological and behavioral aspects of hearing. We wish to thank all authors of the volumes on Audition for the contributions that they have made. We feel confident that their efforts will also be appreciated by the many scientists and clinicians who will make use of the Handbook for many years to come. WOLF D. KEIDEL WILLIAM D.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Evolution of Nervous Systems, Second Edition, Four Volume Set is a unique, major reference which offers the gold standard for those interested both in evolution and nervous systems. All biology only makes sense when seen in the light of evolution, and this is especially true for the nervous system. All animals have nervous systems that mediate their behaviors, many of them species specific, yet these nervous systems all evolved from the simple nervous system of a common ancestor. To understand these nervous systems, we need to know how they vary and how this variation emerged in evolution. In the first edition of this important reference work, over 100 distinguished neuroscientists assembled the current state-of-the-art knowledge on how nervous systems have evolved throughout the animal kingdom. This second edition remains rich in detail and broad in scope, outlining the changes in brain and nervous system organization that occurred from the first invertebrates and vertebrates, to present day fishes, reptiles, birds, mammals, and especially primates, including humans. The book also includes wholly new content, fully updating the chapters in the previous edition and offering brand new content on current developments in the field. Each of the volumes has been carefully restructured to offer expanded coverage of non-mammalian taxa, mammals, primates, and the human nervous system. The basic principles of brain evolution are discussed, as are mechanisms of change. The reader can select from chapters on highly specific topics or those that provide an overview of current thinking and approaches, making this an indispensable work for students and researchers alike. Presents a broad range of topics, ranging from genetic control of development in invertebrates, to human cognition, offering a one-stop resource for the evolution of nervous systems throughout the animal kingdom Incorporates the expertise of over 100 outstanding investigators who provide their conclusions in the context of the latest experimental results Presents areas of disagreement and consensus views that provide a holistic view of the subjects under discussion
