Noise and aging affect hearing nerve types differently in mice
Experiments comparing five young and seven old mice found that one hearing nerve subtype’s connections were most resilient to age-related loss.Experiments comparing five young and seven old mice found that one hearing nerve subtype’s connections were most resilient to age-related loss.
