Stress across timescales: differential effects of acute and chronic stress on auditory processing and perception

Key Points

• This research aims to explore how acute and chronic stress differently influence auditory processing and perception.
• Examined the effects of acute stress on auditory attention and salience in controlled settings.
• Analyzed chronic stress impacts on auditory circuit plasticity and perceptual changes over time.
• Acute stress led to temporary changes in auditory attention and sensory gain.
• Chronic stress resulted in long-term plastic changes in auditory circuits and altered perception.
