Insights Into Sound Processing in the Brain

The central auditory system is classically thought of as an ascending system, where acoustic information is processed across a step-by-step hierarchy of increasingly complex circuits. However, this model is simplistic because we know that higher order brain regions such as the auditory cortex also send descending projections back to “lower” circuits.

First-Generation College Students and More Highlights From Meet the Researcher

Each year Hearing Health Foundation’s (HHF) Emerging Research Grants (ERG) program funds innovative hearing and balance projects from promising early-career scientists. A program created by Collette Ramsey Baker, in 1958 when HHF was founded, ERG continues to be a cornerstone of our mission. We eagerly look forward to applications from potential grantees, due this year on Feb. 10, 2020, and publicizing their projects and careers.
