The constellation Taurus is packed with interesting stars. Here's how to find It, and learn about the zodiac and your star sign in the process
Brain Sciences, Vol. 9, Pages 302: D-Stellate Neurons of the Ventral Cochlear Nucleus Decrease in Auditory Nerve-Evoked Activity during Age-Related Hearing Loss Brain Sciences doi: 10.3390/brainsci9110302 Authors: Yong Wang Meijian Wang Ruili Xie Age-related hearing loss (ARHL) is associated with weakened inhibition in the central auditory nervous system including the cochlear nucleus. One of the main inhibitory neurons of the cochlear nucleus is the D-stellate neuron, which provides...
