Journal of Neuroscience Research, Volume 104, Issue 8, August 2026.Laboratory studies show KS has electroconductive properties with the ability to trap and transport protons in neurotransductive processes (Grotthuss proton shuttling). This maintains electrochemical gradients and fluxes at the neuronal cell surface in neural activation. Such processes are central to neuronal cell signaling and communication.

Labyrinthine Abnormalities on MRI in Untreated Otosclerosis: Prevalence and Clinical Relevance
The Laryngoscope, Volume 136, Issue 8, Page 3559-3568, August 2026.In untreated otosclerosis with labyrinthine symptoms, delayed 3D FLAIR MRI rarely demonstrates endolymphatic hydrops but frequently reveals blood–labyrinth barrier (BLB) disruption. BLB enhancement is spatially associated with cochlear endosteal and round window involvement and increases with the severity of the hearing loss phenotype.

3D‐Printed Electroanatomic Twins of Cadaveric Cochleae: A Platform for Cochlear Implant Testing
Laryngoscope Investigative Otolaryngology, Volume 11, Issue 4, August 2026.ABSTRACT Objectives Cochlear implants (CIs) can restore hearing to individuals with severe deafness, yet clinical outcomes vary widely because it remains difficult to predict how electrical currents interact with the unique anatomy of each cochlea. A central challenge in auditory rehabilitation is the lack of experimental systems that capture both the ...

Regional Impedance Patterns in Cochlear Implantation: Influence of Demographic and Early Activation
Laryngoscope Investigative Otolaryngology, Volume 11, Issue 4, August 2026.Implantation age is a key determinant of electrode impedance behavior, with a region‐specific effect most pronounced in the apical cochlea. Younger recipients exhibit higher intraoperative impedance followed by a time‐dependent reversal at 6 months.
