Shaping the aging brain: Role of auditory input patterns in the emergence of auditory cortical impairments

Age-related impairments in the primary auditory cortex (A1) include poor tuning selectivity, neural desynchronization and degraded responses to low-probability sounds. These changes have been largely attributed to reduced inhibition in the aged brain, and are thought to contribute to substantial hea...
