A technique that induces imaginary sounds in both mice and people could help scientists understand the brain circuits involved in schizophrenia and other disorders that cause hallucinations. The ...

A new study suggests that sound may influence fetal development earlier than previously thought, potentially before the ear canal even opens. The researchers found that deaf newborn mice had different ...

An international team of scientists has identified the neural mechanisms through which sound blunts pain in mice. The newly reported research, led by teams at the National Institute of Dental and ...

Studies by a growing number of labs have identified neurological health benefits from exposing human volunteers or animal models to light, sound and/or tactile stimulation at the brain's "gamma" ...

A new study from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem reveals that male and female mice develop distinct sound preferences depending on their early auditory environment. When exposed as pups to ...

Could people’s eyes and ears help fix the damage Alzheimer’s disease does to the brain? Just by looking at flashing light and listening to flickering sound? A new study led by a prominent MIT ...

A technique that induces imaginary sounds in both mice and people could help scientists understand the brain circuits involved in schizophrenia and other disorders that cause hallucinations. The ...

New research in mice demonstrates that pain relief by sound is not purely attributable to stress reduction and distraction; the study reveals a neural circuit underlying sound-induced analgesia in the ...
