Abstract

Presbycusis (age-related hearing loss) is one of the principal communicative and chronic medical disorders of our aged population. Preventative and curative biomedical interventions provide us with an understanding of the basis of this neural and molecular sensory deficit. The cochlear nucleus (CN) receives the outputs of the auditory portion of the inner ear, and sends these outputs to the centres where critical sound and perception analyses are conducted in parallel processing pathways of brainstem. This location plays a key role to process the sound. This location is an important place to investigate the structural and functional changes related to aging occuring in cochlear nucleus. Our goal is to reveal the neurophysiologic bases of functional changes which occur in mammalian CN related to aging.
