Training promotes the recovery of electrophysiological measures of reduced neural discriminability following sound exposure.
These findings suggest that PV+ cells regulate perceptual learning, "for better and for worse".
Learning led to region-specific changes in cholinergic neurotransmission, as detected by PET imaging and immunohistochemistry.

Combining auditory training with neuromodulation can restore many of the functional deficits observed as a result of normal aging.
Development, learning, aging and the brain
Objective testing revealed specific memory deficits that were not reflected in self-reported Quality of Life scores
A simple intervention led to a better practice standardization and documentation for diagnostic and counseling purposes
