Synapse and Hearing Laboratory

Hearing is a highly developed sense, requiring extremely rapid and complex processing of signals transmitted to the brain via the auditory nerve. Connections between auditory neurons involved in the localization of sounds represent some of the most powerful and fastest synapses in the mammalian brain. In the Synapse and Hearing Laboratory we study the central processing of auditory information at the most fundamental level.
