Processing Mechanisms

Abstract Faithful representation of sound envelopes in primary auditory cortex (A1) is vital for temporal processing and perception of natural sounds. However, the emergence of cortical temporal processing mechanisms during development remains poorly understood. Although cortical inhibition has been proposed to play an important role in this process, direct in-vivo evidence has been lacking. Using loose-patch recordings in rat A1 immediately after hearing onset, we found that stimulus-following ability in fast-spiking neurons was significantly better than in regular-spiking (RS) neurons. In-vivo whole-cell recordings of RS neurons revealed that inhibition in the developing A1 demonstrated much weaker adaptation to repetitive stimuli than in adult A1. Furthermore, inhibitory synaptic inputs were of longer duration than observed in vitro and in adults. Early in development, overlap of the prolonged inhibition evoked by 2 closely following stimuli disrupted the classical temporal sequence between excitation and inhibition, resulting in slower following capacity. During maturation, inhibitory duration gradually shortened accompanied by an improving temporal following ability of RS neurons. Both inhibitory duration and stimulus-following ability demonstrated exposure-based plasticity. These results demonstrate the role of inhibition in setting the pace for experience-dependent maturation of temporal processing in the auditory cortex.

AbstractRecent prevalence estimates for autism have been alarming as a function of the notable increase. Speech-language pathologists play a critical role in screening, assessment and intervention for children with autism. This article reviews signs that may be indicative of autism at different stages of language development, and discusses the importance of several psychometric properties—sensitivity and specificity—in utilizing screening measures for children with autism. Critical components of assessment for children with autism are reviewed. This article concludes with examples of intervention targets for children with ASD at various levels of language development.

Cardiac registries have filled many gaps in knowledge related to arrhythmogenic cardiovascular conditions. Despite the less robust level of evidence available in registries when compared with clinical trials, registries have contributed a range of clinically useful information. In this review, the authors discuss the role that registries have played – related to diagnosis, natural history, risk stratification, treatment, and genetics of arrhythmogenic cardiovascular conditions – in closing knowledge gaps, and their role in the future.
