Neural basis of deafness

Deafness or hearing loss affects 466 million people worldwide, causing severe communication and social exclusion. Understanding the neural basis of deafness can help develop effective interventions to improve the quality of life for those affected by it. Research in this field focuses on the anatomy and physiology of the ear, the central auditory system, and neural mechanisms underlying hearing, processing, and cognition. This article explores the current understanding of the neural mechanisms of deafness and its impact on language processing, attention, and memory. It further discusses the potential applications and limitations of cochlear implants, sign language, gene therapy, and cross-modal plasticity. The challenges faced by researchers are also addressed, along with future research scopes in this area.

Neural basis of epilepsy

Epilepsy is a neurological disorder characterized by recurrent seizures that can impair consciousness and lead to physical injuries, social and psychological consequences. Its neural basis is multifaceted and involves abnormal synchronization of electrical and chemical signals in the brain, leading to a disruption in normal brain function. While current treatments can provide relief for many people with epilepsy, there is still much to be learned about the underlying causes and mechanisms of the disorder. Advances in neuroscience research, including genetics, experimental models, and technology, hold promise for better understanding and treatment of epilepsy.
