概括
先天性单侧耳聋 (SSD) 重组了听觉皮层,有利于听觉耳朵处理声音. 这会影响双耳听力和声音定位,即使在耳植入器 (CI) 植入后也是如此.

- 感官处理 感官处理
背景情况:
- 先天性单侧聋 (SSD) 导致"耳声偏好综合征",过度利用听觉耳朵.
- 对于SSD的耳植入 (CI) 可以产生低于最佳的双耳听力和语音感知,特别是在后期植入的情况下.
- 之前的研究表明,单边先天性聋猫 (uCDCs) 的间隔时间差 (ITD) 敏感性减少.
研究的目的:
- 为了研究单边先天性聋猫 (uCDCs) 的初级听力皮层中的音声间水平差异 (ILD) 处理.

01:13The Cochlea
44.7K
The cochlea is a coiled structure in the inner ear that contains hair cells—the sensory receptors of the auditory system. Sound waves are transmitted to the cochlea by small bones attached to the eardrum called the ossicles, which vibrate the oval window that leads to the inner ear. This causes fluid in the chambers of the cochlea to move, vibrating the basilar membrane.

5.4K
Auditory pathways constitute the complex neural circuits responsible for transmitting and interpreting auditory information from the peripheral auditory system to the brain. Sound waves are initially captured by the outer ear, funneled through the ear canal, and reach the tympanic membrane (eardrum). These vibrations are transmitted via the middle ear's ossicles to the inner ear's cochlea.

The human brain perceives pitch through two primary mechanisms reflected in place theory and frequency theory. Each mechanism describes how sound waves are interpreted as specific pitches by the brain, offering insights into the intricate processes of auditory perception.
Place theory, or place coding, suggests that different pitches are heard because various sound waves activate specific locations along the cochlea's basilar membrane. The brain determines the pitch of a sound by...

Auditory sensation, commonly called hearing, involves the transformation of sonic waves into neural impulses facilitated by the structures of the auditory organ. The prominent, flesh-like structure on the side of the head, called the auricle, directs sound waves towards the auditory canal. The auricle is often mislabeled as the pinna, a term more aligned with mobile structures like a feline's external ear. The auditory canal penetrates the cranium via the external auditory meatus of the...
