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 ...

A team of researchers has generated a developmental map of a key sound-sensing structure in the mouse inner ear. Scientists analyzed data from 30,000 cells from mouse cochlea, the snail-shaped ...

Researchers at Göttingen Campus, Germany, have succeeded for the first time in examining the tiny synapses in the inner ...

(Boston, Mass., April 14, 2010) Rising from the top surface of each of the specialized receptor cells in our inner ears is a bundle of sensory cilia that responds to the movement of sound. As ...

Northwestern Medicine scientists have uncovered how a specific type of cell in the inner ear plays a commanding role in ...

Scientists at Oregon Health & Science University have revealed, for the first time and in near-atomic detail, the structure of the key part of the inner ear responsible for hearing. This is the last ...

"By disseminating this study data via the gEAR, we are creating an 'encyclopedia' of the genes expressed in the developing inner ear, transforming the knowledge base of our field and making this ...

Ear care, or otology, specifically treats the structure and function of the ear. Ear conditions include hearing and balance disorders, damage or disease of the ear, tumors, and others (see below). Our ...

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 ...

The inner ear may not seem like a particularly bony place, but human ears in fact have three small bones (also known as ossicles): the malleus, the incus and the stapes. While most people would assume ...
