Deputy Head of Department of Auditory Neuroscience
Institute of Experimental Medicine CAS

Morphological and functional characteristics of nerve cells in individual auditory nuclei under normal and pathological conditions are studied in the Department. Electrophysiological and histological data are correlated with changes in the animal behavior evaluated with behavioral tests. Audiological tests and MR imaging are used to characterize age-related changes in hearing in humans.
