  • How the brain recovers from noise-induced damage
    on May 1, 2026 at 1:40 am

    When a sound stops, our auditory system generates a precise “offset” response that marks this moment. This enables the brain to measure the duration of a sound and detect brief gaps in communication signals, such as in conversations. Researchers at LMU have now discovered how the brain is able to preserve this crucial aspect of hearing—the ability to detect when a sound ends—when it has previously been exposed to damaging noise levels.

    New research has shown that GLP‑1 weight-loss drugs deliver protection against heart attacks, strokes, and premature death over a sustained period of time. Researchers from Anglia Ruskin University (ARU) analyzed data from more than 90,000 patients enrolled in large-scale international studies and found that people given glucagon-like peptide‑1 (GLP‑1) receptor agonists were significantly less likely to suffer major cardiovascular events than those given a placebo.
