Neural circuits in the auditory brainstem compute interaural time and intensity differences used to determine the locations of sound sources. These circuits display features that are specialized for these functions. The projection from the ventral cochlear nucleus (VCN) to the medial nucleus of the trapezoid (MNTB) body travels along highly myelinated fibers and terminates in the calyx of Held.

Article Synopsis
- Cognitive impairment is common in neuropsychiatric disorders, and current treatments lack lasting efficacy; this study aims to explore how altitude-like hypoxia combined with cognitive training might enhance cognition and promote neuroplasticity.
- The research involves two sub-studies: one with 120 healthy participants undergoing different combinations of hypoxia and cognitive training, and another with 60 patients recovering from major depressive disorders comparing hypoxia training to standard treatment.
- Assessments will evaluate cognitive, psychosocial, and quality of life metrics before, immediately after, and one month after treatment, with advanced imaging techniques to assess brain function and synaptic changes, intending to identify measurable cognitive improvements.
