Congratulations to JDP student Brittany Lee for receiving the Graduate Student Award for her poster to be presented at the Cognitive Neuroscience Society meeting in San Francisco in March! This work was conducted jointly with Gabriela Meade, a fellow JDP student. The presentation is titled, “Phonological and semantic priming in American Sign Language: An ERP study.”
Congratulations to you both!

Mammalian Cochlear Hair Cell Regeneration and Ribbon Synapse Reformation.
Neural Plast. 2016;2016:2523458
Authors: Lu X, Shu Y, Tang M, Li H
Abstract
Hair cells (HCs) are the sensory preceptor cells in the inner ear, which play an important role in hearing and balance. The HCs of organ of Corti are susceptible to noise, ototoxic drugs, and infections, thus resulting in permanent hearing loss. Recent approaches of HCs regeneration provide new directions for finding the treatment of sensor neural deafness. To have normal hearing function, the regenerated HCs must be reinnervated by nerve fibers and reform ribbon synapse with the dendrite of spiral ganglion neuron through nerve regeneration. In this review, we discuss the research progress in HC regeneration, the synaptic plasticity, and the reinnervation of new regenerated HCs in mammalian inner ear.

Outcomes From a Hearing-Targeted Cytomegalovirus Screening Program.
Pediatrics. 2017 Jan 24;:
Authors: Diener ML, Zick CD, McVicar SB, Boettger J, Park AH
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is the most common congenital infection and nongenetic cause of congenital sensorineural hearing loss in the United States. Utah was the first state to pass legislation mandating CMV screening for newborns who fail newborn hearing screening (NBHS). The study objective was to present outcomes of hearing-targeted CMV screening and determine factors predicting CMV screening.
METHODS: We used Utah Department of Health HiTrack and Vital Records databases to examine CMV screening from 509 infants who failed NBHS in the 24 months after implementation of the Utah legislation. Multivariate logistic regression analyses were conducted to identify predictors of compliance with CMV screening and diagnostic hearing evaluation.
RESULTS: Sixty-two percent of infants who never passed hearing screening underwent CMV screening. Fourteen of 234 infants tested within 21 days were CMV positive; 6 (42.9%) had hearing loss. Seventy-seven percent of eligible infants completed a diagnostic hearing evaluation within 90 days of birth. Compliance with CMV screening was associated with sociodemographic factors, time since the law was enacted, and NBHS protocol. Infants born after the legislation showed greater odds of achieving timely diagnostic hearing evaluation than infants born before the law.
CONCLUSIONS: Incorporating CMV screening into an established NBHS program is a viable option for the identification of CMV in infants failing NBHS. The addition of CMV testing can help a NBHS program attain timely audiological diagnostics within 90 days, an important early hearing detection and intervention milestone.
