Cortical interneurons display striking differences in shape, physiology, and other attributes,
challenging us to appropriately classify them. We previously suggested that interneuron …

Neuronal networks with strong recurrent connectivity provide the brain with a powerful
means to perform complex computational tasks. However, high-gain excitatory networks are …

Aging is a complex process that accompanied by molecular and cellular alterations. The
identification of tissue-/cell type-specific biomarkers of aging and elucidation of the detailed …

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder primarily affecting
cognitive functions. However, sensory deficits in AD start to draw attention due to their high …

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a fatal disease, characterized by the degeneration of
both upper and lower motor neurons. Despite decades of research, we still to date lack a …

The auditory system provides us with extremely rich and precise information about the
outside world. Once a sound reaches our ears, the acoustic information it carries travels from …

Many aging adults experience some form of hearing problems that may arise from auditory
peripheral damage. However, it has been increasingly acknowledged that hearing loss is …

In the neocortex, neuronal processing of sensory events is significantly influenced by
context. For instance, responses in sensory cortices are suppressed to repetitive or …

Granule cells (GCs) of the cerebellar input layer express high-affinity δ GABA A subunit-
containing GABA A receptors (δGABA A Rs) that respond to ambient GABA levels and …

Listening in noisy or complex sound environments is difficult for individuals with normal
hearing and can be a debilitating impairment for those with hearing loss. Extracting …
