Research project awarded by the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders to study neural circuits involved in auditory perceptual learning, with potential benefits for hearing impairments and neurodevelopmental disorders.
Description
This project explores the neural circuit mechanisms supporting auditory perceptual learning, focusing on the role of the orbitofrontal cortex and its projections to the auditory cortex. The research aims to improve understanding of perceptual learning, with implications for hearing-impaired individuals and neurodevelopmental disorders such as dyslexia and autism.
