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 ...

Scientists have made a major leap in ear imaging by using terahertz radiation to see inside the cochlea – an impossibly tiny, ...

However, scientists don’t have a full sense of why this happens because they are still working to understand the mechanics of the inner ear. A team of physicists recently took a novel approach to ...

A research group led by Takumi Kagawa and Masashi Kato at Nagoya University Graduate School of Medicine has discovered that ...

Researchers at Karolinska Institutet have developed a method that shows how the nervous system and sensory organs are formed in an embryo. By labelling stem cells with a genetic ‘barcode’, they have ...

As wild as headphones that work without sitting in your ears may ... waves is handled by our eardrums and other parts of the inner ear. After passing through the outer and middle sections of ...

The three bones of the middle ear are called the ossicles. These include the hammer, anvil, and stirrup. The eardrum and the ossicles work together to increase the vibrations as the sound waves ...
