In Autism Spectrum Disorder, Brain Connections Vary When Processing Speech

These findings suggest that in ASD, the mechanisms involved in processing speech, which encompass both the cerebrum and cerebellum, are influenced by atypical attention patterns, possibly stemming from differences in how the cerebellum manages timing and predicts auditory events.

Brain Targets for Hearing Recovery After Noise-Induced Hearing Loss

Our results hold the promise to advance understanding of the cortical mechanisms underlying disorders associated with maladaptive cortical plasticity after peripheral damage, such as tinnitus, hyperacusis, and difficulty hearing in noisy environments.

Brain Connectivity Patterns in Children With Autism Spectrum Disorder

Individuals with autism spectrum disorder had different patterns of brain connectivity between areas involved in speech processing, particularly in the parietal region, which is important for combining different sounds into speech objects.

Perceptual Decision-Making for Speech Recognition in Noise

Our study indicates that perceptual decision-making is engaged for difficult word recognition conditions, and that frontal cortex activity may adjust how much information is collected to benefit word recognition task performance.
