Auditory re-afferentation by cochlear implants (CI) offers a unique opportunity to study
directly from within the auditory modality plastic changes taking place at organisational …

Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) has become a popular research tool, yet its
use for diagnostic purposes and actual treatment planning has remained less widespread …

Objective: To describe the imaging findings and clinical outcomes of children with apparent
cochlear nerve aplasia undergoing cochlear implantation. Study Design: Retrospective case …

Bernal and Altman pathways is well established [15, 16](Fig. 1). Input to the brainstem
comes through the cochlear branch of cranial nerve VIII. The first synapse is the cochlear …

Magnetic resonance (MR) compatibility of biomedical implants and devices represents a
challenge for designers and potential risks for users. This paper addresses these problems …

To investigate the activation of the auditory cortex by fMRI, three deaf subjects users of the
Ineraid cochlear implant participated in our study. Possible interference between fMRI …

Patients suffering from chronic disorders of consciousness (DOC) are characterized by
profound unawareness and an impairment of large‐scale cortical and subcortical …

Electrical stimulation of the ear of deaf patients via cochlear implants offers a unique
occasion to study activity of central auditory pathways with fMRI, without bias due to scanner …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Promontory testing is used for preoperative assessment of
the auditory pathway before cochlear implantation. This method depends on patient …
