Hearing01:31

Hearing

56.7K
When we hear a sound, our nervous system is detecting sound waves—pressure waves of mechanical energy traveling through a medium. The frequency of the wave is perceived as pitch, while the amplitude is perceived as loudness.

Antiepileptic Drugs: Modulators of Neurotransmitter Release Mediated by SV2A Protein

849
Antiepileptic drugs, such as levetiracetam (Keppra) and brivaracetam (Briviact), have emerged as crucial tools in managing epilepsy. These medications exert their therapeutic effects by targeting the synaptic vesicle protein SV2A, a transmembrane glycoprotein primarily found in the brain.
SV2A is a transmembrane glycoprotein located predominantly in the brain, modulating the release of neurotransmitters for neuronal communication. Both levetiracetam and brivaracetam exhibit a high affinity for...

Pulse amplitude and quality01:17

Pulse amplitude and quality

3.0K
Pulse amplitude is a crucial indicator of cardiac health because it provides valuable insights into the strength of left ventricular contractions and the overall uniformity of blood circulation within the vasculature. The strength of the pulse is directly related to the force with which the heart contracts and the volume of blood being pumped.
A weak or absent pulse may indicate reduced cardiac output or poor left ventricular contraction, which can be signs of cardiovascular dysfunction or...

Variation: Normal Distribution, Range, and Standard Deviation

27.0K
In the field of psychology, there are several ways to organize measurements of a trait, feature, or characteristic (i.e., variables). Qualitative data, such as ethnicity, can be tabulated into a frequency count to provide information about the proportion, as well as the variety of groups in a sample or population. On the other hand, researchers can perform a wider set of calculations on quantitative data. The mean, mode, and median, for instance, are central tendency measures to identify a...

Normal Stress01:19

Normal Stress

1.4K
Normal stress is a type of stress that occurs when forces act perpendicular, or normal, to a material's cross-sectional area. This stress often arises in structures when subjected to axial loading, which is the application of force along the axis of an object. A practical example of this can be found in bridge truss members.
When a rod is under axial loading, the internal forces and corresponding stress are normal to the plane of the section, so it is termed normal stress. It's important to...

Frequency-dependent Selection01:21

Frequency-dependent Selection

23.1K
When the fitness of a trait is influenced by how common it is (i.e., its frequency) relative to different traits within a population, this is referred to as frequency-dependent selection. Frequency-dependent selection may occur between species or within a single species. This type of selection can either be positive—with more common phenotypes having higher fitness—or negative, with rarer phenotypes conferring increased fitness.

Summary

Temporal resolution is mature by three months of age in infants, despite poorer amplitude modulation sensitivity. This finding suggests temporal modulation cutoff frequency is a viable measure for infant auditory development.

Area of Science:

  • Auditory Neuroscience
  • Developmental Psychology
  • Psychoacoustics

Background:

  • Auditory development in infants is crucial for speech and language acquisition.
  • Temporal processing, including temporal resolution and amplitude modulation sensitivity, underpins auditory perception.
  • Understanding the maturation of these abilities in early infancy is essential.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the maturation of temporal modulation cutoff frequency in three-month-old infants.
  • To compare temporal resolution and amplitude modulation sensitivity between infants and adults.
  • To assess the feasibility of using temporal modulation cutoff frequency to study auditory development.

Main Methods:

  • A psychoacoustic procedure was used to test normal-hearing infants and adults.
  • Temporal modulation transfer functions (TMTF) were measured.
  • Modulation detection threshold (MDT) and temporal modulation cutoff frequency were estimated.

Main Results:

  • Infants showed significantly poorer modulation detection thresholds (MDT) compared to adults.
  • Mean temporal modulation cutoff frequency did not significantly differ between infants and adults.
  • MDT and cutoff frequency were successfully obtained in a subset of infants and all adults.

Conclusions:

  • Temporal resolution appears to be mature by three months of age in infants.
  • Amplitude modulation sensitivity is still developing at three months.
  • Temporal modulation cutoff frequency is a promising method for assessing infant temporal resolution development.
