The Mechanism of the Cochlea [PDF]
IF I understand Dr. Perrett's letter in NATURE of November 11, p. 633, his objection to Yoshii's experiments (which would apply equally to those of Wittmaack and Siebenmann) is based on the assumption that the intensity of the stimulation of every part of the cochlea must be proportional to the amplitude of the vibration set up in that part.

Development of the cochlea [PDF]
ABSTRACT The cochlea, a coiled structure located in the ventral region of the inner ear, acts as the primary structure for the perception of sound. Along the length of the cochlear spiral is the organ of Corti, a highly derived and rigorously patterned sensory epithelium that acts to convert auditory stimuli into neural impulses.

An analog electronic cochlea [PDF]
An analog electronic cochlea has been built in CMOS VLSI technology using micropower techniques. The key point of the model and circuit is that a cascade of simple, nearly linear, second-order filter stages with controllable Q parameters suffices to capture the physics of the fluid-dynamic traveling-wave system in the cochlea, including the effects of ...

Patterning of the mammalian cochlea [PDF]
The mammalian cochlea is sophisticated in its function and highly organized in its structure. Although the anatomy of this sense organ has been well documented, the molecular mechanisms underlying its development have remained elusive. Information generated from mutant and knockout mice in recent years has increased our understanding ...

Minimal basilar membrane motion in low-frequency hearing [PDF]
Low-frequency hearing is critically important for speech and music perception, but no mechanical measurements have previously been available from inner ears with intact low-frequency parts. These regions of the cochlea may function in ways different from

The Cochlea and the Carotid Canal [PDF]
The carotid canal conveys a large artery and lies in close topographic relationship to the basal turn of the cochlea. The bony wall between them consists in some cases only of the petrous bone of the otic capsule. It can be as thin as 0.2 mm. In other cases the distance can be more than 6 mm.

Embryonic cranial cartilage defects in the Fgfr3Y367C/+ mouse model of achondroplasia
Abstract Achondroplasia, the most common chondrodysplasia in humans, is caused by one of two gain of function mutations localized in the transmembrane domain of fibroblast growth factor receptor 3 (FGFR3) leading to constitutive activation of FGFR3 and subsequent growth plate cartilage and bone defects.
