Scientists and engineers have modeled a hidden mechanism in the inner ear that helps mammals balance via the fastest-known signal in the brain. The sensory organs that allow us to walk, dance and turn ...
A new article compares the inner ear structures of the two main groups of bats. By examining the microscopic inner ears of bats from 19 of the 21 known bat families, the researchers were able to show ...
(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 ...
Little Foot is one of the oldest known hominins in southern Africa. This almost complete skeleton, belonging to the genus Australopithecus, dates back more than three million years. It was found in ...

Scientists find hidden trigger killing inner ear cells and a new way to stop hearing loss
Researchers have identified a previously unknown mechanism that drives the death of inner ear hair cells, the tiny sensory structures responsible for converting sound into brain signals. The discovery ...
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 Get the ...
If paleontologists had a wish list, it would almost certainly include insights into two particular phenomena: how dinosaurs interacted with each other and how they began to fly. The problem is, using ...
Dark, diamond-shaped spots in inner ear magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans are not always signs of pathological ...
