Understanding speech with a cochlear implant (CI) can differ greatly among users due to factors like electrode-nerve interface and neural health conditions. This diversity of performance makes it hard to compare different sound coding strategies through traditional studies. However, computational models offer a controlled environment to assess CI users’ speech performance. In this study, a […]
Imagine trying to walk on a narrow path, but every few steps, your feet feel glued to the ground, making it nearly impossible to move forward. This is similar to what individuals with freezing of gait (FoG) experience in Parkinson’s disease (PD). A recent study sought to delve into the cortical mechanisms that contribute to […]
Imagine you’re studying a magical potion called estradiol, which can have incredibly fast and powerful effects on certain receptors in our bodies. But here’s the problem: we don’t fully understand how it works! That’s where scientists come in. They want to uncover the secrets of estradiol’s non-classical actions by looking closely at receptor dynamics – […]
