Researchers have identified a previously unknown mechanism that drives the death of inner ear hair cells, the tiny sensory ...

Dark, diamond-shaped spots in inner ear magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans are not always signs of pathological ...

New research suggests that the ear is yet another part of our bodies that is susceptible to infection with SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19. For this research, scientists developed novel ...

Researchers have developed a method that shows how the nervous system and sensory organs are formed in an embryo. By labeling stem cells with a genetic 'barcode', they have been able to follow the ...

The inner ear is divided into two fluid filled chambers - one inside the other. Figure 3 illustrates the basic organization of both the organs of hearing and balance. The fluid in the two chambers ...

The research, published this week in Nature, provides the first anatomical evidence of two distinctive inner ear structures used for processing bats’ echolocation signals. The study confirms ...

The ear canal is a small, tube-like pathway that extends from the outer ear to the eardrum. A range of health problems can affect this sensitive area, including infection, inflammation, and injury. In ...

Two major groups of bats that use echolocation have different structures for connecting the inner ear to the brain, according to a new study by researchers from the University of Chicago, the American ...
