Injecting kenpaullone into the middle ear protected both mice and rats from cisplatin-induced hearing loss
New noninvasive approach reveals brain mechanisms of auditory attention
Many areas within laboratories and especially research facilities are inherently noisy. Exposure to loud noise for long enough periods can result in permanent loss of hearing.
The researchers found that the sedentary mice lost structures that are important in the auditory system—hair cells and strial capillaries—at a much higher rate than their exercising counterparts
