An introduction to the functional neurochemistry of the auditory system.
Neurochemistry of the auditory system has become one of the fastest growing areas in the study of audition. Many recent advances have implications for not only the basic auditory researcher but also the clinician. This article introduces some of the fundamentals of auditory neurochemistry as well as some recent developments. Also highlighted are some of the studies that appear to have current and future clinical significance.
