Neuware - The auditory system has a remarkable ability to adjust to an ever-changing environment. The six review chapters that comprise Plasticity of the Central Auditory System cover a spectrum of issues concerning this ability to adapt, defined by the widely applicable term 'plasticity'. With chapters focusing on the development of the cochlear nucleus, the mammalian superior olivary complex, plasticity in binaural hearing, plasticity in the auditory cortex, neural plasticity in bird songs, and plasticity in the insect auditory system, this volume represents much of the most current research in this field. The volume is thorough enough to stand alone, but is closely related a previous SHAR volume, Development of the Auditory System (Volume 9) by Rubel, Popper, and Fay. The book fully addresses the difficulties, challenges, and complexities of this topic as it applies to the auditory development of a wide variety of species. N° de réf. du vendeur 9780387209869

Synopsis :

The auditory system has a remarkable ability to adjust to an ever-changing environment. The six review chapters that comprise Plasticity of the Auditory System cover a spectrum of issues concerning this ability to adapt, defined by the widely applicable term "plasticity". With a selection of chapters that is wide in scope, this volume represents much of the most current research in this field. The volume stands alone, but is closely related a previous SHAR volume, Development of the Auditory System (Volume 9) by Rubel, Popper, and Fay. Intended for upper-level undergraduates, graduate students, and researchers of auditory development, the book fully addresses the difficulties, challenges, and complexities of this topic as it applies to the auditory development of a wide variety of species.
