Summary: The integration of multi-frequency sounds in the mouse secondary auditory cortex A2 is crucial for vocal processing. A specific subnetwork of neurons in A2 encodes harmonic sounds and is stable across days, possibly forming during development. Inactivation of A2 impairs performance in a discrimination task for coincident harmonics.

Summary: The study focused on simulating the detection efficiency, effective area, and event rate of cosmic rays with zenith angle using the GRANDProto35 coincidence array. It found that the 10^17 eV energy region is sensitive to GRANDProto35 detection, with detection efficiency reaching over 95% and effective area up to 2 x 10^6 m^2. Furthermore, the study revealed a significant decrease in event rate detected by the array with increasing zenith angle, with a rate of approximately 0.1 events per day for a zenith angle of 75 degrees.

Summary: The ability to understand phrases is an important function of the brain. This study investigated the neural processes involved in transitioning from single-word processing to minimal compositional schemes. The findings suggest that the posterior superior temporal sulcus (pSTS) is a specialized region in the brain that encodes both lower and higher level linguistic features, forming the basis for hierarchically organized linguistic structures.

Summary: This study introduces a minimally invasive technology called terahertz wave modulation that can enhance hearing perception in animals. By modulating the currents in cochlear hair cells, this technique can reversibly increase mechano-electrical transducer currents and voltage-gated K+ currents, resulting in improved hearing sensitivity.

Summary: The study proves that the singularities of the R-matrix R(k) in the minimal quantization of the adjoint representation of the Yangian Y(g) of a finite dimensional simple Lie algebra g correspond to the roots of the monic polynomial p(k) in the OPE expansions of quantum fields of conformal weight 3/2 of the universal minimal affine W-algebra at level k attached to g.

Summary: As computational models of neural systems become more complex and large, fully de novo model development becomes impractical and inefficient. To address this, the NeuroML Database has been developed to quickly find, evaluate, reuse, and build upon previously published models. The database stores over 1,500 models translated to the modular NeuroML language and provides links to other neuroscience model databases and original model publications. It facilitates model translation, analysis, and inspection, and enables rapid assessment of model properties and features.

Summary: This study focuses on noise evaluation and targeted noise reduction efforts. The study proposes a noise annoyance evaluation (D) by developing an auditory saliency model, replacing subjective measurements with objective values. By analyzing the noise frequency structure and establishing a noise annoyance factor (BP), the study achieves targeted noise reduction and provides a new solution.

Summary: Hearing loss is a major global problem, and current research mainly relies on limited and costly primary organotypic inner ear cultures. This study aimed to identify and induce high stemness in auditory neuroprogenitors (ANPGs) for efficient screening of otoprotective and otoregenerative drug candidates. Through transcriptomic comparison and reprogramming protocols, highly proliferative ANPGs with virtually limitless expansion potential were developed. These stemness-induced ANPGs retained their ability to differentiate into mature auditory neurons and resolved the bottleneck in the field, allowing high-throughput and low-cost in vitro screening.

Summary: This letter proposes a novel microwave coincidence imaging (MCI) method based on the attributed scattering model (ASM), which can obtain richer information about the object geometries by using three kinds of reference matrices. The method also demonstrates superresolution ability similar to classical MCI. Simulation and experiment are conducted to validate the performance and superresolution ability of the proposed method.

Summary: Sound localization heavily relies on precise timing and intensity differences in sound inputs to both ears. While aging leads to a loss of inhibitory synaptic transmission in the auditory system, activity-dependent plasticity may help neurons maintain their binaural tuning function. Computational modeling suggests that compensatory mechanisms, such as adjusting the strength of remaining inhibitory inputs, can mitigate the negative effects of inhibition loss on sound localization.

Summary: Aging and cochlear degeneration lead to functional changes in auditory nerve fibers (ANFs). This study found that ANFs in aged gerbils had lower spontaneous rates (SRs) for low-frequency signals and a loss of low-SR fibers for high-frequency signals. The distribution of rate-level function (RLF) types also changed in aged ANFs. A physiologically based cochlear model was used to simulate these effects, revealing that the changes in SR and RLF types were due to both striatal degeneration and reduced basilar membrane gain.
