Perceptual learning

Modifying the adult rat tonotopic map with sound exposure produces frequency discrimination deficits that are recovered with training

Training promotes the recovery of electrophysiological measures of reduced neural discriminability following sound exposure.

PET Imaging of Perceptual Learning-Induced Changes in the Aged Rodent Cholinergic System

Learning led to region-specific changes in cholinergic neurotransmission, as detected by PET imaging and immunohistochemistry.

Pairing Cholinergic Enhancement With Perceptual Training Promotes Recovery of Age-Related Changes in Rat Primary Auditory Cortex

Combining auditory training with neuromodulation can restore many of the functional deficits observed as a result of normal aging.
