The approach combines auditory and somatosensory inputs to modulate the dorsal cochlear nucleus (DCN), a key brain region in tinnitus development. The DCN processes auditory signals alongside ...

For example, stimulation of the ventral cochlear nucleus (VCN) has been shown to produce more synchronized and robust responses compared to the dorsal cochlear nucleus (DCN), suggesting that ...

When we hear sounds, specialized cells in the cochlear nucleus are the first to process that information, enabling our brains to understand speech, enjoy music and recognize various noises.
