PLASTICITY IN THE ADULT CENTRAL AUDITORY SYSTEM.

Authors:
Dexter R F Irvine James B Fallon Marc R Kamke

Acoust Aust 2006 Apr;34(1):13-17

The central auditory system retains into adulthood a remarkable capacity for plastic changes in the response characteristics of single neurons and the functional organization of groups of neurons. The most dramatic examples of this plasticity are provided by changes in frequency selectivity and organization as a consequence of either partial hearing loss or procedures that alter the significance of particular frequencies for the organism. Changes in temporal resolution are also seen as a consequence of altered experience. These forms of plasticity are likely to contribute to the improvements exhibited by cochlear implant users in the post-implantation period.

Life underground often leads to animals having specialized auditory systems to accommodate the constraints of acoustic transmission in tunnels. Despite living underground, naked mole-rats use a highly vocal communication system, implying that they rely on central auditory processing. However, little is known about these animals' central auditory system, and whether it follows a similar developmental time course as other rodents. Read More

Niemann-Pick type C disease (NPCD) is a rare genetic syndrome characterized by cholesterol accumulation in multiple organelles. NPCD is mainly caused by gene deficiency of NPC intracellular cholesterol transporter 1 (NPC1). It has been reported that some of the NPCD patients exhibit clinical features of progressive hearing loss at high frequency and iron disorder, but the underlying relationship is unknown. Read More

Nanotechnology Approaches for Enhanced CNS Drug Delivery in the Management of Schizophrenia.

Schizophrenia is a neuropsychiatric disorder mainly affecting the central nervous system (CNS), presented with auditory and visual hallucinations, delusion and withdrawal from society. Abnormal dopamine levels mainly characterise the disease; various theories of neurotransmitters explain the pathophysiology of the disease. The current therapeutic approach deals with the systemic administration of drugs other than the enteral route, altering the neurotransmitter levels within the brain and providing symptomatic relief.
