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 ...
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 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 ...

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 ...
Optical coherence tomography (OCT), a tool routinely used to diagnose and plan treatment for eye diseases, has now been modified to collect images of the inner ear. "These findings are exciting ...
