Scientists have revealed in near-atomic detail the structure of the key part of the inner ear responsible for hearing. The findings could point the way toward developing new treatments for hearing ...

As mammals, we have very sensitive hearing, thanks to a process known as cochlear amplification. This amplification is down to sensory cells in the inner ear called outer hair cells (OHCs), and it is ...

The inner ear contains the sensory systems of balance and hearing. Its location is close to the center of the skull and it is encased in the hardest bones in the body which make it one of the best ...

Northwestern Medicine scientists have uncovered how a specific type of cell in the inner ear plays a commanding role in shaping the cellular landscape of the organ responsible for hearing, according ...

Spatial normalization of multisubject inner ear imaging data is challenging, due to both substantial intraindividual differences and the small size of the organ compared to other intracranial ...

Brain atlases and templates are core tools in scientific research with increasing importance also in clinical applications. Advances in neuroimaging now allowed us to expand the atlas domain to the ...

A new study reveals the surprisingly convergent evolution in the inner ear of mammals. An international research team led by Nicole Grunstra from the University of Vienna and Anne Le Maître from the ...

The coiled channels deep within the ears of fossilized and modern animals reveals that mammals became warm-blooded 233 million years ago. By Kate Baggaley Published Jul 20, 2022 11:09 AM EDT Add ...

By analyzing genetic data from nearly 2 million people, researchers have unlocked a new scientific understanding of Ménière's ...
