Outer hair cells stir cochlear fluids

eLife
We hypothesized that active outer hair cells drive cochlear fluid circulation. The hypothesis was tested by delivering the neurotoxin, kainic acid, to the intact round window of young gerbil cochleae while monitoring auditory responses in the cochlear ...

The Free‐Range Rock Cavy (Kerodon rupestris) Communicates the Urgency of a Threat Using Different Alarm Calls

Ethology, EarlyView.
Rock cavy alarm calls are finely modulated by threat proximity. ABSTRACT This study examines whether rock cavies (Kerodon rupestris), which are social rodents, modulate their alarm calls in response to various threat contexts. Conducted across four sample areas within two study sites in the Brazilian Caatinga region, alarm calls were collected using ...

Physiological and Behavioural Strategies of Bats From Arid Environments

Mammal Review, EarlyView.
Deserts are characterized by high ambient temperatures, intense solar radiation and low water availability. Desert bats are smaller, have lower energy expenditures, lower water losses, higher wing aspect ratios and lower wing loadings than bats living in mesic environments.

Adaptation of Binaural Processing in the Adult Brainstem Induced by Ambient Noise [PDF]

, 2012
Interaural differences in stimulus intensity and timing are major cues for sound localization. In mammals, these cues are first processed in the lateral and medial superior olive by interaction of excitatory and inhibitory synaptic inputs from ipsi- and ...

Differential expression of genes identified by suppression subtractive hybridization in liver and adipose tissue of gerbils with diabetes. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2018
We aimed at identifying genes related to hereditary type 2 diabetes expressed in the liver and the adipose tissue of spontaneous diabetic gerbils using suppression subtractive hybridization (SSH) screening.Two gerbil littermates, one with high and the ...

Emerging Therapeutic Strategies for Hearing Loss

Advanced Therapeutics, Volume 8, Issue 7, July 2025.
Challenges still exist in treating hearing loss in cases of severe damage to hair cells or spiral ganglion neurons. Here, a schematic diagram of cochlear sensory hair cells and auditory nerves is presented. It is found that in normal Corti organs, hair cells have upright stereocilia at the top and auditory neurons at the base. Ototoxic drugs, noise, or

Nutritional Influences on Brown and Beige Adipocyte: Unraveling the Molecular Mechanisms and Metabolic Implications

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 13, Issue 7, July 2025.
Nutrient‐focused dietary strategies can enhance BAT function and activity, thereby contributing to the modulation of metabolic disorders and the optimization of metabolic health. ABSTRACT Brown adipose tissue (BAT) and beige adipose tissue (beige fat) function as thermogenic organs, significantly influencing human metabolism through various mechanisms.
