Produktbeschreibung

The auditory system has a remarkable ability to adjust to an ever-changing environment. The six review chapters that comprise Plasticity of the Auditory System cover a spectrum of issues concerning this ability to adapt, defined by the widely applicable term "plasticity". With a selection of chapters that is wide in scope, this volume represents much of the most current research in this field. The volume stands alone, but is closely related a previous SHAR volume, Development of the Auditory System (Volume 9) by Rubel, Popper, and Fay. Intended for upper-level undergraduates, graduate students, and researchers of auditory development, the book fully addresses the difficulties, challenges, and complexities of this topic as it applies to the auditory development of a wide variety of species.
