Natural head orientation and spatial hearing with symmetric frontal maskers
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of natural, undirected head orientation on speech perception in the presence of interfering speech maskers that were symmetrically arranged to minimize the better-ear advantage. We also examined the characteristics of…
1H-MRS brain metabolites as biomarkers of high-altitude hypobaric hypoxia following mild traumatic brain injury in mice
Introduction and objectivePopulations at high altitude (HA) face a higher incidence and severity of traumatic brain injury (TBI). This pilot study utilized longitudinal 1H-MRS to identify neurochemical biomarkers of HA adaptation and the subsequent metabolic response to mild TBI (mTBI).MethodsMale…
Disrupted sleep-wake cycles and circadian rhythms in a Drosophila model of C9orf72-FTD
Frontotemporal dementia (FTD) is a neurodegenerative disorder that affects behavior, personality, motor activity, speech, cognition, and sleeping patterns. Previous findings support the idea that disruption of sleep and circadian systems may not only be affected by this disease but also…
