Scientists have kept a tiny slice of cochlea alive outside the body, directly witnessing how hair cells amplify sound. The finding confirms a universal principle of hearing and could pave the way for ...
The ability to analyze how the inner ear works could help provide better therapies, especially for sensorineural hearing loss ...
Shortly before his death in August 2025, A. James Hudspeth and his team in the Laboratory of Sensory Neuroscience at The Rockefeller University achieved a groundbreaking technological advancement: the ...
The cochlea is key to human hearing, and it plays an important role in our understanding of complex frequency content. The Visual Ear project aims to illustrate the cochlear mechanism as an ...
The illustration shows a cross-section of part of the cochlea, the fluid-filled part of the inner ear that converts vibrations from incoming sounds into nerve signals that travel to the brain via the ...
Researchers at Uppsala University have created the first 3D map of the hearing nerve showing where the various sound frequencies are captured. Using what is known as synchrotron X-ray imaging, they ...
An implanted optical fibre stimulates parts of the cochlea. The location of the auditory neurons is shown in orange while the stimulated area is blue. (Courtesy: University Medical Center Göttingen) ...
IF I understand Dr. Perrett's letter in NATURE of November 11, p. 633, his objection to Yoshii's experiments (which would apply equally to those of Wittmaack and Siebenmann) is based on the assumption ...
