Sleep disorders may lead to hearing loss.• Complex relationship between sleep quality, auditory sense and mental health.• Oxidative stress and immune response may be potential mechanisms.• Current treatment strategies are limited and separate. AbstractThe intricate relationship between sleep disorders and hearing loss emerges as a burgeoning field of scholarly inquiry. Numerous studies have illuminated a… Continue reading #Echoes in the night: How #sleep quality influences #auditory health

Early peripheral activity alters nascent subplate circuits in the #auditory cortex
Cortical function can be shaped by sensory experience during a critical period. The onset of the critical period is thought to coincide with the onset of thalamocortical transmission to the thalamo-recipient layer 4 (L4). In early development, subplate neurons (SPNs), and not L4 neurons, are the first targets of thalamic afferents. SPNs are transiently involved… Continue reading Early peripheral activity alters nascent subplate circuits in the #auditory cortex
Early- Versus Adult-Onset #Schizophrenia as a Predictor of Response to Neuroscience-Informed Cognitive Training
Developmental stages characterized by greater neural plasticity might be critical periods during which the effects of cognitive training (CT) could theoretically be maximized. However, experiencing a first episode of schizophrenia during childhood or adolescence (ie, early-onset schizophrenia [EOS]) may reduce the brain’s ability to benefit from CT. This study examined the effects of EOS versus… Continue reading Early- Versus Adult-Onset #Schizophrenia as a Predictor of Response to Neuroscience-Informed Cognitive Training
