Training and experience can affect brain organization, research shows
New research comparing music conductors and non-musicians shows that both the conductors and the non-musicians "tuned out" their visual sense while performing a difficult hearing task. view more (2007-11-05)
Lemurs' fur color may not define species
Different coat colour might not correspond to different species for nocturnal lemurs. In a study published today in the open access journal BMC Evolutionary Biology, researchers find that lemurs that appeared to belong to different species because they have strikingly different coat colours, are in fact genetically related and belong to the same... view more...

tudy: The new buzz on detecting tinnitus
It's a ringing, a buzzing, a hissing or a clicking - and the patient is the only one who can hear it.

Bats Use Touch Receptors on Wings to Fly, Catch Prey, Study Finds
Bats have an "ear" for flying in the dark because of a remarkable auditory talent that allows them to determine their physical environment by listening to echoes. But an Ohio University neurobiology professor says bats have a "feel" for it, too. view more (2005-12-16)
Cochlear implants' performance not affected by amount of hearing loss in the implanted ear
Hearing-impaired individuals with severe to profound hearing loss and poor speech understanding who possess some residual hearing in one ear may experience significant communication benefit from a cochlear implant even if it is placed in the worse-hearing ear. view more (2005-09-02)
Memory test and PET scans detect early signs of Alzheimer's
A large study of patients with mild cognitive impairment revealed that results from cognitive tests and brain scans can work as an early warning system for the subsequent development of Alzheimer's disease. view more (2009-07-14)
A New Method For Assessing Neurological Development Of Fetuses? (p 779)
A preliminary study in this week's issue of THE LANCET outlines how light-emitting technology could help in the future assessment of fetal neurological development. There have been only a few studies of visual-evoked response in human fetuses, and all have focused on general changes such as heart rate, body movements, and eye movements. Curtis... view more...

MRI machines may damage cochlear implants
Patients with cochlear implants may want to steer clear of certain magnetic imaging devices, such as 3T MRI machines, because the machines can demagnetize the patient's implant, according to new research published in the December 2008 issue of Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery. view more (2008-12-01)
Flying in tune: Buzz brings mosquito pairs together
