AI Article Synopsis

  • The study aimed to explore the connections between speech-evoked auditory brainstem response (s-ABR) and auditory mismatch negativity (MMN) to understand speech cognitive behavior better.
  • Thirty-three normal hearing adults participated, with s-ABR recorded using the syllable /da/, while MMNs were recorded using frequency and intensity deviants.
  • Results indicated a complex relationship where MMN latency correlated negatively with certain s-ABR transient components and positively with sustained components; similarly, intensity deviance MMN showed varying correlations with different s-ABR peaks, suggesting different neuron characteristics matching within the auditory processing.

Article Abstract

Objective: To investigate the relationships of electrophysiological characteristics between speech evoked auditory brainstem response (s-ABR) and auditory mismatch negativity (MMN), so as to provide more clues for the mechanism of speech cognitive behavior.

Method: Thirty-three ears in 33 normal hearing adults were included in this study. Their s-ABR were recorded with speech syllables /da/ at 80 dB HL intensity. Meanwhile, two MMNs were recorded with 1 kHz frequency deviant extent and 40 dB intensity deviant extent in them. The electrophysiological characteristics of s-ABRs and MMNs, as well as the relationships of MMN latencies between s-ABR parameters including latencies in time domain, fundamental frequency(F0) and first formants(F1) in frequency domain were analyzed statistically.

Result: MMN latency of frequency deviance showed a negative correlation tendency with s-ABR transient components, and it showed a positive trend with sustained components of s-ABR. While MMN latency of intensity deviance showed a positive correlation with s-ABR latency of peak V, A and D respectively, and it negatively showed a correlation with s-ABR latency of other peak s and amplitude of F0 and FI respectively. Only the s-ABR latency of peak F and MMN latency of frequency deviance, and the F0 amplitude of s-ABR and MMN latency of intensity deviance were moderate correlation statistically.

Conclusion: It was probably the neurons of frequency deviant MMN unmatched the characteristics of frequency with the neurons of s-ABR transient component, but well matched the characteristics of frequency with the neurons of s-ABR sustained component. Similarly, the neurons of intensity deviant MMN probably matched the characteristics of intensity with neurons of different components of s-ABR or not. These results may formed as a valuable clue for further investigation of speech perception and temporal processing abilities.

Background: This study investigated the effects of phototherapy on serum BH4 levels, evoked potentials, and cognitive impairment in post-stroke depression patients.

Methods: We conducted a prospective study with 160 post-stroke depression patients, randomly assigned to an experimental group receiving daily 40 min of phototherapy alongside routine treatment, and a control group receiving only routine treatment. Serum tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4) levels were measured via ELISA.

Blind listeners rely more on their auditory skills than the sighted to adapt to unavailable visual information. However, it is still unclear whether the blind has stronger noise-related modulation compared with the sighted when speech is presented under adverse listening conditions. This study aims to address this research gap by constructing noisy conditions and syllable contrasts to obtain auditory middle-latency response (MLR) and long-latency response (LLR) in blind and sighted adults.

Mismatch negativity (MMN) is widely considered a candidate diagnostic biomarker for schizophrenia (SCZ). Although blunted MMN responses have been reliably observed in psychosis, the evidence for MMN deficits in other disorders, such as major depressive disorder (MDD), is mixed. This study explores whether MMN alterations in amplitude or latency are unique to SCZ or extend to non-psychotic MDD patients.
