Functional Aging of the Inner Ear Sensory Systems in Mouse Models of Age-Related Hearing Loss
(East Carolina University, 2009)
Age related structural and functional change in the cochlea have been well described and predisposing factors including genetic background, gender, and environmental factors have been identified. To date, nine genetic loci ...
An Investigation of Auditory and Visual Temporal Processing in Children with Reading Disorders
(East Carolina University, 2009)
Several lines of research have revealed a relationship between reading disorders (RD) and auditory temporal processing deficits. That is, subtle, yet rapid changes within an acoustic message are more difficult for individuals ...
Priming Anxiety into People who Stutter: Arousal's Influence on Fluency
(East Carolina University, 2008-11)
Many experimental psychologists (Bargh, Chen & Burrows, 1996; Berner & Maier, 2004; Bowers, 1999; Chartrand, VanBaaren & Bargh, 2006; Chen & Haviland-Jones, 2000; Hazlett, Dawson, Schell & Filion, 1990; Macky-Sim & Laing, ...
The Effects of Social Stories on Language and Social Appropriateness in Children with Autism Spectrum Disorders
(East Carolina University, 2009)
This study employed a single-subject design to determine the effects of Social Stories<super>TM</super> treatment approach on the language and social skills, specifically turn-taking, of four children with autism spectrum ...
Characterization of Vestibular Dysfunction in the Mouse Model for Usher Syndrome 1F
(East Carolina University, 2005-06)
The deaf-circling Ames waltzer (av) mouse harbors a mutation in the protocadherin 15 (Pcdh15) gene and is a model for inner ear defects associated with Usher syndrome type 1F. Earlier studies showed altered cochlear hair ...
Methods and devices for delivering exogenously generated speech signals to enhance fluency in persons who stutter
(2004-06-22)
Methods and devices generate an exogenous natural second speech signal as an auditory stimulus to a user to enhance the fluency of persons who stutter. The natural speech signal is independent of the contemporaneous speech ...
Implementation Of An In-The-Ear Device To Alleviate Stuttering: Research Evidence
(East Carolina University, 2006)
Spontaneous Discharge Patterns in Cochlear Spiral Ganglion Cells Prior to the Onset of Hearing in Cats
(East Carolina University, 2007-10)
Spontaneous neural activity has been recorded in the auditory nerve of cats as early as 2 days postnatal (P2 ), yet individual auditory neurons do not respond to ambient sound levels below 90–100 dB SPL until about P10. ...
Osteopontin is not Critical for Otoconia Formation or Balance Function
(East Carolina University, 2008-06)
Unlike the structural and mechanical role of bone crystals, the inertial mass of otoconia crystals provides a shearing force to stimulate the mechanoreceptors of the utricle and saccule (the gravity receptor organ)under ...
Resting Discharge Patterns of Macular Primary Afferents in Otoconia-Deficient Mice
(East Carolina University, 2008-12)
Vestibular primary afferents in the normal mammal are spontaneously active. The consensus hypothesis states that such discharge patterns are independent of stimulation and depend instead on excitation by vestibular hair ...
