SEMINAR:
  How multisensory neurons in the auditory brainstem contribute to tinnitus
  - School of Anatomy, Physiology & Human Biology Seminar Series

Professor Susan Shore,  Department of Otolaryngology, University of Michigan, USA
The Speaker:

Professor Susan Shore from the Department of Otolaryngology, University
of Michigan has been working in the field of Neuroanatomy and
Neurophysiology of the auditory system for more than two decades. Much
of her work has focused on the role of neural connections from other
parts of the brain to the cochlear nucleus. A strong emphasis has been
on two major projection systems: the somatosensory innervation to the
external regions of the cochlear nucleus, and descending connections
from other auditory structures to core regions of the cochlear nucleus.
In addition to the normal innervation, her laboratory also study changes
in these pathways after various forms of hearing loss, and their
possible roles in tinnitus, loudness recruitment and central auditory
processing.
