We studied scalp-recorded auditory event-related potentials (ERPs) of 30 untreated patients with new-onset temporal lobe epilepsy and 30 age- and sex-matched normal controls. This study was designed to eliminate the effects of intractability of seizures and chronic use of antiepileptic drugs on P300 auditory ERPs. There were no statistically significant differences in both latency and amplitude of P300 between the two groups. Similar methods were also used to analyze component latencies and amplitudes of ERPs of 9 patients who had hippocampal sclerosis with comparison to control subjects. There were no statistically significant differences between these two groups as well. Our study evidently does not support temporal lobe sources of P300 scalp-recorded auditory ERPs. We also conclude that the scalp-recorded auditory ERPs procedure is not a useful tool to evaluate temporal lobe epilepsy.

Validation of direct recording of electrically evoked cortical auditory evoked potentials through a cochlear implant system.
Sci Rep

Department of Speech, Language, and Hearing Sciences, University of Colorado Boulder, Boulder, CO, USA.
Article Synopsis
- - Cochlear implants (CIs) help people with severe hearing loss regain sound perception by electrically stimulating the auditory nerve through implanted electrodes in the cochlea.
- - Fitting CIs can be difficult, especially for individuals who can't communicate their experiences, like children, highlighting the need for objective measurement methods like electrically-stimulated cortical auditory evoked potentials (eCAEP).
- - This study found that eCAEPs recorded directly from CI electrodes are similar to those obtained using scalp EEG, indicating that this method could assist in optimizing CI fitting and monitoring auditory brain development.
Concussion acutely disrupts auditory processing in division I football student-athletes.

Article Synopsis
- Sports-related concussions require a comprehensive assessment approach, but current evaluations often overlook auditory processing, which may be affected due to the complexity and fragility of the auditory system.
- The study measured frequency-following responses (FFRs) in male Division I football players before and after they experienced a concussion, anticipating a decrease in auditory processing capabilities post-injury.
- Results indicated that concussion led to reduced pitch and phonetic encoding, with repeated injuries resulting in cumulative declines, suggesting that auditory processing should be integrated into concussion assessments and warranting further research in diverse sports and for different demographics.
Electrocochleographic frequency-following responses as a potential marker of age-related cochlear neural degeneration.

Auditory nerve (AN) fibers that innervate inner hair cells in the cochlea degenerate with advancing age. It has been proposed that age-related reductions in brainstem frequency-following responses (FFR) to the carrier of low-frequency, high-intensity pure tones may partially reflect this neural loss in the cochlea (Märcher-Rørsted et al., 2022).

Auditory semantic novelty - a new meaningful sound in the context of a predictable acoustical environment - can probe neural circuits involved in language processing. Aberrant novelty detection is a feature of many neuropsychiatric disorders. This large-scale human intracranial electrophysiology study examined the spatial distribution of gamma and alpha power and auditory evoked potentials (AEP) associated with responses to unexpected words during performance of semantic categorization tasks.

The process of integrating information from different sensory channels, known as multisensory integration (MSI) was assessed in two disorders, Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and Schizophrenia (SCZ). 32 healthy controls (HC), 35 SCZ patients, and 23 ASD patients performed an audiovisual (AV) synchronous target detection task while reaction time (RT) and scalp recorded electrophysiological (EEG) activity were measured. MSI in the AV condition resulted in faster and less variable RTs compared to the unimodal conditions.
