sound sensitivity. However, even after this recovery, the ability to discriminate sounds of different types usually remains impaired. Consequently, such subjects show little ability to discriminate tone sequences or recognize musical melodies. This deficit is apparently related to a loss of temporal ...
Animals with a significant attenuation effect could fit into any of the three groups. In addition, the recovery from loud sound exposure was not paralleled with the changes occurring over time in the attenuation effect. Therefore, the conclusion that short-term effectiveness of medial efferents does...
Medial olivocochlear (MOC) neurons project to outer hair cells (OHC), forming the efferent arm of a reflex that affects sound processing and offers protection from acoustic overstimulation. The central pathways that trigger the MOC reflex in response to sound are poorly understood. Insight into ...

Using sound signals simulating a moving sound source a number of neurons were found to react specifically to the direction of this movement. An assumption is made concerning the role of the late discharge for the fixation of information about position of a sound source in space....
Further, due to high rates of both baseline and sound‐evoked activity in MNTB neurons in vivo , MNTB–MOC synapses may be tonically depressed. To probe this, we characterized short‐term plasticity of MNTB–MOC synapses in mouse brain slices. We mimicked in vivo ‐like temperature and ...
A Role of Medial Olivocochlear Reflex as a Protection Mechanism from Noise-Induced Hearing Loss Revealed in Short-Practicing Violinistsdoi:10.1371/journal.pone.0146751Previous studies have indicated that extended exposure to a high level of sound might increase the risk of hearing loss among ...
Sound envelopeDynamic range adaptationModulation detection interferenceThe detection of amplitude modulation (AM) in quiet or in noise improves when the AM carrier is preceded by noise, an effect that has been attributed to the medial olivocochlear reflex (MOCR). We investigate whether this ...
