1. Cortical sensory processing is multimodal: visual cortex responds to auditory stimuli, auditory cortex to somatosensory stimuli, and so on. Is there a difference in how cortical populations encode their primary modality vs. other modalities? doi.org/10.1101/2021.0…

New research from the Chung lab & collaborators found that mice with a genetic mutation associated w/ epileptic encephalopathy exhibit not only the seizure & behavioral symptoms of the disorder, but also neural degeneration and inflammation in the brain. bit.ly/3q3a8tX

If you are a parent of a child 2-11yr old with hyperacusis (sensitivity to sound) researchers Nottingham University Hearing Sciences need your help to: -discuss your child’s experiences -test a questionnaire Blog: bit.ly/3H6qtGz Info: bit.ly/3JabL42 Email: [email protected]

Big congrats to our fantastic undergrad researcher Liz Soellner on her Beckman fellowship! Liz will be looking at audiogenic seizure susceptibility in a rat model of Fragile X Syndrome over the summer, excited to see what she finds!

Gail Pollard, the mother of Bryan Pollard (the founder of Hyperacusis Research), has started a fundraiser for Hyperacusis Research in his memory. We encourage everyone to donate to support more research on pain hyperacusis. Thank you! 🙏 facebook.com/donate/1887705…

Learn more about the Llano Laboratory and Schantz Lab's research into how fetal exposure to PCBs affects hearing health later in life. Their findings are now out in SfN Journals.

The Auerbach Lab is examining how different genes associated with autism spectrum disorders may similarly impact our brain’s neurons, resulting in heightened sensitivity to sounds. Their work is supported by a $2 million R01 grant from the NIH▶️bit.ly/3uSPvqU

"Turning a page sounds like a bomb going off. Music sounds like a ice pick to the eardrum; a siren is like a rocket being launched." Read more about the cruel reality of pain #hyperacusis in the Daily Mail: dailymail.co.uk/health/article…

Fragile X syndrome is a commonly inherited form of autism with no treatment. But a team of researchers from the University of Illinois has discovered a novel receptor function that may be used in a therapeutic approach to treatment. go.mcb.illinois.edu/tsai305
