Patient records were reviewed to determine whether persons with absent acoustic reflexes have a higher incidence of abnormal auditory brainstem response (ABR) results in the absence of a cerebellopontine angle (CPA) tumor than those with normal acoustic reflexes. Results showed patients with absent reflexes to have borderline or abnormal ABR results in 45.2% of the cases. Patients with normal reflexes had borderline or abnormal ABR results in 14.2% of the cases. Results indicate that magnetic resonance imaging is a more appropriate test for patients with absent reflexes, since ABR was often nondiagnostic for a CPA tumor in this group.

Effect of induced astigmatism on vestibulo-ocular reflex.
Clin Exp Optom
January 2025
Department of Optometry, School of Paramedical and Rehabilitation Sciences, Mashhad University of Medical Sciences, Mashhad, Iran.
Clinical Relevance: The vestibular-ocular reflex stabilises the retinal image and maintains balance during head movement. Astigmatism is one of the common refractive errors that can reduce the quality of visual inputs.
Background: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of induced astigmatism on the function of the vestibular-ocular reflex.
Evaluation of the Peripheral and Central Auditory Systems in Children and Adolescents Before and After COVID-19 Infection.
Children (Basel)
November 2024
Faculty of Medical Sciences, State University of Campinas, Campinas 13083-887, SP, Brazil.
Unlabelled: COVID-19 is an infectious disease caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus. During and after COVID-19, audiovestibular symptoms and impairments have been reported.
Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the impacts of COVID-19 on the peripheral and central auditory systems of children and adolescents following the acute COVID-19 phase based on behavioral, electroacoustic, and electrophysiological audiological assessments.
Effects of Metabolic Dysfunction-Associated Steatohepatitis in Alertness, Associative Learning, and Astrocyte Density.
Brain Behav
January 2025
INEUROPA, Instituto de Neurociencias del Principado de Asturias, Oviedo, Spain.
Purpose: Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH) is a prevalent disease caused by high fat and high cholesterol intake, which leads to systemic deterioration. The aim of this research is to conduct a psychobiological exploration of MASH in adult male rats.
Methods: Subjects who were administered a high-fat and high-cholesterol diet for 14 weeks.
[Acoustic reflex as one of the indicators of the maturity of the functioning of the auditory analyzer].
Vestn Otorinolaringol
December 2024
Pirogov Russian National Research Medical University, Moscow, Russia.
Unlabelled: The acoustic reflex is a physiological protective mechanism of the sound-conducting system of the auditory analyzer, which allows to identify various retrocochlear lesions of the human auditory system. The absence of its registration may indicate both pathology and immaturity of the auditory analyzer in children of the first year of life.
Objective: To register the acoustic reflex in children of the first year of life, to identify a full-fledged acoustic reflex at various frequencies and to analyze the dependence of its appearance on the timing of gestation.
The role of deep layer superior colliculus neurons in prepulse inhibition and the impact of spatial separation in male rats.
Neuroscience
February 2025
School of Psychological and Cognitive Sciences, Peking University, Beijing 100080, China.
Prepulse inhibition (PPI) refers to the phenomenon in which a weak sensory stimulus before a strong one significantly reduces the startle reflex caused by the strong stimulus. Perceptual spatial separation, a phenomenon where auditory cues from the prepulse and background noise are distinguished in space, has been shown to enhance PPI. This study aims to investigate the neural modulation mechanisms of PPI by the spatial separation between the prepulse stimulus and background noise, particularly in the deep superior colliculus (deepSC).
