Auditory plasticity in cochlear implant patients.

abstract：CONCLUSIONS:The critical stage for cochlear gene regulation in the embryo is E49-E56. These data provide a valuable resource to help elucidate gene regulation in cochlear development and will benefit ear-related studies, especially those that focus on gene and stem cell therapies in hearing loss. OBJECTIVES:To investi...
