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 ...

Music at a blaring concert, racket from tools at a construction site, or the firing of weapons can all cause noise-induced hearing loss. An acute traumatic injury to the ear from loud sounds can even ...

Exposure to loud noises may affect our hearing by disrupting levels of zinc in our inner ears, a study in mice suggests. Therapies that mitigate this could be used to treat or even prevent such damage ...

Being exposed to loud noises for just an hour a day could worsen signs of Parkinson's disease, a study suggests. Researchers in China looked at mice that were modified to be in the early stages of ...

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 ...

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 ...
