SUMMARY:ARO Seminar Series - Auditory Nerve - Beyond Mammals: Auditory-nerve Responses Across Different Species Presented by Dr. Christine Köppl
DESCRIPTION:🔊 Join ARO and the ARO Education Committee for our newest Seminar Series exploring the Auditory Nerve. \nWe’re thrilled to kick off this enlightening series with the first featured talk: \n"Beyond Mammals: Auditory-nerve Responses Across Different Species" Presented by Dr. Christine Köppl \nDate: Wednesday\, April 29\, 2026 \nTime: 12:00-1:00 PM ET USA \nRegistration Required: https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/vVdShmZtQA-0HzNfNFApvg \nDr. Christine Köppl \nDept. of Neuroscience\, Carl von Ossietzky Universität Oldenburg\, Germany \n Dr. Köppl has a background in zoology and neuroscience. Her long-standing broad interest is the evolution of the auditory system\, with comparative work on mammals\, birds and reptiles\, from the cochlea to the midbrain. She has published 115 peer-reviewed papers\, including 31 reviews.\nChristine received her Biology diploma (equivalent to a Master) in 1985\, from the Technical University of Munich. She did her PhD work at the same university\, with Geoff Manley\, on inner-ear anatomy and physiology of lizards. She remained based at the TU Munich\, interrupted by multiple research phases in Australia\, working on lizards\, and in the USA\, working on barn owl sound localization. After a prestigious Heisenberg fellowship by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (the major granting body in Germany)\, Christine moved to a faculty position at the Dept. of Physiology\, University of Sydney\, Australia\, in 2006. In 2009\, she returned to Germany\, as full professor at the Carl-von-Ossietzky Universität in Oldenburg. There\, she was part of the large Cluster of Excellence “Hearing4all” and her research under this umbrella focused on age-related hearing loss and cochlear ageing\, using the Mongolian gerbil as the predominant animal model. Most recently\, she added novel data from ageing birds that\, in contrast to mammals\, are able to regenerate sensory hair cells. Now retired\, Christine is still working to wrap up and publish her latest projects.
