About Aage Møller
My previous research has mainly concerned the function of the auditory system but I have also studied the somatosensory and visual systems and I have done research on pain and hyperactive motor disorders. More recently, I have studied neural plasticity in the auditory system and its role in disorders that have tinnitus, hyperacusis and chronic pain as symptoms. I also have studied autism and the involvement of non-classical auditory pathways. I am the author of nine (single author) books in hearing science, intraoperative neurophysiologic monitoring and neuroscience. Recent books are "Intraoperative Neurophysiological Monitoring, 2nd Edition" and "Neural Plasticity and Disorders of the Nervous System" (2006). I am editor or co-editor of seven published books, author or co-author of 181 articles in refereed journals, 206 book chapters, review articles etc. I was Editor-in-Chief (and founder) of the international journal, Hearing Research (1978-2005), and member of the Editorial Board of other international journals. I am interested in teaching and I have developed new courses and have been writing books that are used in teaching. I am interested in the role of neural plasticity in disorders of the nervous system and I teach a course on that topic that I developed. I also teach courses in the physiological basis for intraoperative neurophysiologic monitoring. This course, which I developed at BBS in our neuroscience program, is the only university-based course in the topic.
Research Interests
My research concerns the function of the normal and the pathologic ear and the auditory nervous system. I am particularly interested in neural plasticity and its role in tinnitus, hyperacusis and phonophobia. A specific aim of my research is to explore the possibilities of affecting these disorders by pharmacologic manipulation of GABAergic neurons in the inferior colliculus. Closely associated with these studies is research that focuses on the role of the non-classical auditory system in disorders of the auditory system.
