Funded Activity Summary

Detection of important sounds within a noisy background is a crucial function of the mammalian hearing system and defects in this function impair social interaction, learning and development. In addition, activity in the brain needs to be carefully regulated by intrinsic circuitry in order to prevent excessive activity responsible for conditions such as tinnitus. The mechanisms by which the brain achieves this are poorly understood and this project aims to improve our understanding of some of the brain circuits involved.
