NSF SCIENCE360 SUPER SCIENCE REWIND: CELL TALK

The video explores how the brain processes sound, focusing on research from SUNY Buffalo using mice. It explains how noise affects brain information processing and how auditory nerve cells adapt to prolonged noise by changing their structure and neurotransmitter usage. When noise ceases, these cells revert to their original state, demonstrating the brain's adaptability. The video emphasizes the importance of communication between the brain and auditory nerves.

What role do neurotransmitters play in hearing?

Why is adaptability important for the brain and auditory nerves?
