The intrinsic functional organization of the brain changes into older adulthood. Age
differences are observed at multiple spatial scales, from global reductions in modularity and …

Deficits in auditory nerve (AN) function for older adults reduce afferent input to the cortex.
The extent to which the cortex in older adults adapts to this loss of afferent input and the …

At the cortical level, the central auditory neural system (CANS) includes primary and
secondary areas. So far, much research has focused on recording fronto-central auditory …

The lateralization of processing in the auditory cortex for different acoustic parameters differs
depending on stimuli and tasks. Thus, processing complex auditory stimuli requires an …

There is growing interest in develo** training programs to mitigate cognitive decline
associated with normal aging. Here, we assessed the effect of 3‐month music and visual art …

Age-related sensory declines are unavoidable and closely linked to decreased visual,
auditory, and cognitive functions. However, the interrelations of these declines remain poorly …

Responses to a sensory stimulus are inhibited by a preceding stimulus; if the two stimuli are
identical, paired-pulse suppression (PPS) occurs; if the preceding stimulus is too weak to …

Age-related hearing loss (presbycusis) affects one-third of the world's population. One
hallmark of presbycusis is difficulty hearing in noisy environments. Presbycusis can be …

Studies showed that the top-down control of the prefrontal cortex (PFC) on sensory/motor
cortices changes during cognitive aging. Although music training has demonstrated efficacy …

Objectives: Age-related speech perception difficulties may be related to a decline in central
auditory processing abilities, particularly in noisy or challenging environments. However …
