Sentence examples for variation in auditory from inspiring English sources

We speculate that the observed perceptual differences seen here are part of people's normal variation in auditory abilities; however, this underlying variation might importantly contribute to reductions in an individual's quality of life following even small amounts of hearing loss, by increasing the difficulty of extracting meaningful signals from noisy environments.

The overarching goal of this study was to identify candidate genes that may influence seasonal variation in auditory frequency sensitivity.

While this does not drastically change our questions regarding seasonal variation in auditory sensitivity, it can inform our thinking about how and why species like midshipman evolved the physiological and genetic mechanisms underlying frequency-dependent seasonal plasticity in hearing.

Visual inspection of the individual profiles of atrophy in PNFA and semantic dementia patients (Fig. 2) suggests possible anatomical bases for the group-level differences and within-group variation in auditory performance.

We selected these particular subsets of transcripts based on previous studies that have implicated steroid hormones and the large conductance, calcium-activated potassium (BK) channel in seasonal variation in auditory sensitivity [ 12, 13].

These fish, previously used to examine seasonal variation in auditory sensitivity and steroid levels [ 11], were collected from nest sites, shipped back to Cornell University, and housed in artificial seawater aquaria maintained at 16 °C until they were used for neurophysiology and sacrificed to collect tissues.

Near-term characteristics of fetal cardiac responses to airborne sounds demonstrate that fetuses can discriminate intensity, frequency and spectra [5] [11] and can also process some fast and slow amplitude temporal variations in auditory streams [12], [13], [14]; see [13], [15] for extended reviews.

To date, we have successfully employed hypothesis-driven approaches to identify neuro-molecular mechanisms of seasonal variation in peripheral auditory function, namely in the hair cell epithelium and eighth nerve afferents of the saccule, the main auditory division of the inner ear in many teleost fish including midshipman [ 8, 15].

Though these non-coding genes may be critical to the variation in seasonal auditory physiology, their general lack of annotation makes such a bioinformatic analysis essentially impossible.

For children aged from 5 to 12 years, high ICCs are found with all four normative waveforms in that age band, suggesting that there is little variation in the late auditory ERP either within or between age for children in this age range.

These patients also show increased continuous negative variation and abnormal habituation in auditory evoked potentials during electrophysiological studies and increased muscle jitter on electromyography.
