A Gradient of Single-Channel Conductance in the Cochlea [PDF]
Neuron, 2003 AbstractFrequency tuning in the vertebrate cochlea requires a continuously varying amplifier in auditory hair cells. In this issue of Neuron, Ricci et al. show that the mechanosensitive transduction channel, a possible amplifier component, has a single-channel conductance that increases systematically along the frequency axis of the turtle cochlea.

Journal of Neuroscience, 2015 Macrophages are recruited into the cochlea in response to injury caused by acoustic trauma or ototoxicity, but the nature of the interaction between macrophages and the sensory structures of the inner ear remains unclear.

Advanced NanoBiomed Research, EarlyView.Physical stimulation strategies have emerged as a therapeutic avenue for the regeneration of spiral ganglion neurons. This review explores diverse physical stimulation modalities—including topographical modulation, electrical stimulation, and photostimulation—each operating through distinct mechanisms to regulate SGN biological behavior. By elucidating

Early synapsids neurosensory diversity revealed by CT and synchrotron scanning
The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Non‐mammaliaform synapsids (NMS) represent the closest relatives of today's mammals among the early amniotes. Exploring their brain and nervous system is key to understanding how mammals evolved. Here, using CT and Synchrotron scanning, we document for the first time three extreme cases of neurosensory and behavioral adaptations that probe ...

Scientific Reports, 2015 Noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL) is one of the most common sensorineural hearing deficits. Recent studies have demonstrated that the pathogenesis of NIHL is closely related to ischemia-reperfusion injury of cochlea, which is caused by blood flow ...

FPGA implementation of the CAR Model of the cochlea [PDF]
International Symposium on Circuits and Systems, 2014 The front end of the human auditory system, the cochlea, converts sound signals from the outside world into neural impulses transmitted along the auditory pathway for further processing.

Predicting ecology and hearing sensitivities in Parapontoporia—An extinct long‐snouted dolphin
The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Analyses of the cetacean (whale and dolphin) inner ear provide glimpses into the ecology and evolution of extinct and extant groups. The paleoecology of the long‐snouted odontocete (toothed whale) group, Parapontoporia, is primarily marine with its depositional context also suggesting freshwater tolerance.

Developmental Neurobiology, 2015 Sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) is one of the most common congenital disorders in humans, afflicting one in every thousand newborns. The majority is of heritable origin and can be divided in syndromic and nonsyndromic forms. Knowledge of the expression

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract The oval window (OW) is an opening connecting the inner and middle ear. Its area has been shown to consistently scale with body mass (BM) in primates, and has been used alongside semi‐circular canal (SCC) size to differentiate Homo sapiens and fossil hominins, including Paranthropus robustus.

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract The complex evolutionary history behind modern mammalian chewing performance and hearing function is a result of several changes in the entire skeletomuscular system of the skull and lower jaw. Lately, exciting multifunctional 3D analytical methods and kinematic simulations of feeding functions in both modern and fossil mammals and their ...
