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 organ of Corti – the hearing organ of the inner ear - forms from a ribbon of progenitor cells running the length of the cochlear duct, termed the prosensory domain. Starting at about embryonic day ...

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 ...

For the first time, researchers have shown that terahertz imaging can be used to visualize internal details of the mouse cochlea with micron-level spatial resolution. The non-invasive method could ...

The cochlear labyrinth is the portion of the inner ear that contains the cochlear duct and the perilymphatic space, which is located between the boney and membranous parts of the inner ear. The ...

An international team of scientists and surgeons, including researchers from the University of Sheffield, has, for the first time, validated safe surgical access to the central core of the human ...

Engaging the brain’s plasticity by stimulating the locus coeruleus, a region in the brainstem, could be a clinically relevant approach to optimize the efficacy of cochlear implants in restoring ...
