Development of the Auditory System

Extraordinary progress has been made in recent years in understanding the cellular and molecular basis of development. This progress has had a strong influence on our knowledge of the auditory system. From the molecular genetics of ear development to the ontogeny of auditory capa bility, great inroads have been made. This volume on development of th e auditory system provides a detailed and integrated introduction to t he behavioral, anatomical, and physiological changes that occur in the aud…
