Unlabelled: It is thought that a close relationship exists between auditory processing, the acoustic reflex and speech.
Aim: A retrospective study to evaluate these three aspects in children with and without phonological disorders and seek any relationship among them.
Material Methods: 46 children were enrolled: 24 had normal speech abilities and 22 had phonological disorders. All children underwent auditory processing and acoustic reflex threshold testing.
Design: Cross-sectional contemporary.
Results: Auditory processing and acoustic reflex thresholds were abnormal in all children with phonological disorders. This was not the case in children with normal speech development.
Conclusion: Changes in the auditory processing and acoustic reflex thresholds are closely related to speech difficulties.

Neural representation of sensorimotor features in language-motor areas during auditory and visual perception.
Commun Biol

Speech processing involves a complex interplay between sensory and motor systems in the brain, essential for early language development. Recent studies have extended this sensory-motor interaction to visual word processing, emphasizing the connection between reading and handwriting during literacy acquisition. Here we show how language-motor areas encode motoric and sensory features of language stimuli during auditory and visual perception, using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) combined with representational similarity analysis.

Background: The three-class oddball paradigm allows to investigate the processing of behaviorally relevant and irrelevant auditory stimuli. In humans, event-related potentials (ERPs) are used as neural correlate of behavior. We recorded local field potentials (LFPs) within the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) in rats during three-class and passive two-class oddball paradigms and analyzed the ERPs focusing on similarities to human recordings.

Background: Global aphasia is a severe communication disorder affecting all language modalities, commonly caused by stroke. Evidence as to whether the functional communication of people with global aphasia (PwGA) can improve after speech and language therapy (SLT) is limited and conflicting. This is partly because cognition, which is relevant to participation in therapy and implicated in successful functional communication, can be severely impaired in global aphasia.

Temporally dissociable neural representations of pitch height and chroma.
J Neurosci
January 2025
Department of Psychology, Chinese University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong SAR, China
The extraction and analysis of pitch underpin speech and music recognition, sound segregation, and other auditory tasks. Perceptually, pitch can be represented as a helix composed of two factors: height monotonically aligns with frequency, while chroma cyclically repeats at doubled frequencies. Although the early perceptual and neurophysiological mechanisms for extracting pitch from acoustic signals have been extensively investigated, the equally essential subsequent stages that bridge to high-level auditory cognition remain less well understood.
