Abstract
Auditory neuroanatomy: a sound foundation for sound processing
Highlights
Auditory neuroanatomy, the topic of this special issue and E-Book, focuses on the study of the morphology of the neurons and nuclei in central auditory system and is at the interface between cell biology, electrophysiology, and molecular biology
Because hearing is a complex phenomenon, researchers select the animal models that are best suited to investigate particular issues. The chapters of this E-Book include studies done with mice, rats, guinea pigs, cats, ferrets, pallid bats, and primates
The E-Book begins with a detailed longitudinal study of the insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) gene on hearing in wild type Igf1+/+ and null Igf1−/− mice (Riquelme et al, 2010)
Summary
The topic of this special issue and E-Book, focuses on the study of the morphology of the neurons and nuclei in central auditory system and is at the interface between cell biology, electrophysiology, and molecular biology. The chapters of this E-Book include studies done with mice (normal and transgenic), rats, guinea pigs, cats (normal and congenitally deaf), ferrets, pallid bats, and primates.
