When the open-access journal Frontiers in Neural Circuits recently devoted an issue to a special research topic, neuromodulatory function in auditory processing, scientists from NEOMED and a student researcher played a prominent role.

Three of the ten articles in the issue originated with scientists from the Schofield and Lu labs in NEOMED’s Hearing Research Focus Area, namely, articles by Noftz, et al.; Goel, et al; and Beebe, et al.
