Cochlear Implant Outcomes and Genetic Mutations in Children with Ear and Brain Anomalies [PDF]

, 2015
Background. Specific clinical conditions could compromise cochlear implantation outcomes and drastically reduce the chance of an acceptable development of perceptual and linguistic capabilities.

Auditory Hair Cell Mechanotransduction Channels Dynamically Shape the Mechanical Properties of Their Membrane Environment

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This work shows, for the first time, that the stereocilia membrane in cochlear hair cells is dynamically regulated by the mechanotransduction channel to impact the membrane mechanical properties. This work provides direct evidence that the opening and closing associated with the MET channel is regulating the membrane viscosity suggesting that the MET ...

The morphology of the inner ear of squamate reptiles and its bearing on the origin of snakes [PDF]

, 2017
The inner ear morphology of 80 snake and lizard species, representative of a range of ecologies, is here analysed and compared to that of the fossil stem snake Dinilysia patagonica, using three-dimensional geometric morphometrics. Inner ear morphology is

Comparative Cochlear Transcriptomics in Echolocating Bats and Mouse Reveals Hras as Protector Against Noise‐Induced Hearing Loss

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Comparative cochlear transcriptomics of noise‐exposed bats (Miniopterus fuliginosus) and mice reveals bat‐specific protection mechanisms for noise‐induced hearing loss (NIHL), identifying Hras as a key hub regulator. Functional studies in mice show hair‐cell‐specific Hras overexpression significantly reduced hair‐cell damage and NIHL by activating the ...

Order–Disorder Phase Stabilization by Pressure‐Induced Charge Transfer Enhances the Ferroelectric Photovoltaic Effect in Multiferroic BaFe4O7

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A pressure‐driven charge transfer in multiferroic BaFe4O7 induces Fe valence disproportionation and structural distortion, drastically narrowing the bandgap and enhancing ferroelectric polarization. This synergistic optimization boosts photocurrent 2.5‐fold and is retained upon decompression, offering a promising strategy to overcome the ferroelectric ...

Inner ear development in cetaceans

Journal of Anatomy, 2016
AbstractCetaceans face the challenge of maintaining equilibrium underwater and obtaining sensory input within a dense, low‐visibility medium. The cetacean ear represents a key innovation that marked their evolution from terrestrial artiodactyls to among the most fully aquatic mammals in existence.

Artificial Nervous Systems

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
By drawing inspiration from biological neural hierarchies and the working mechanisms of plasticity, researchers have constructed a series of bionic devices, including sensory devices, synapse devices, and artificial neural systems. They committed to simulating and surpassing the biological information processing function, thereby realizing the ...

Balance function after cochlear implant and inner ear anomaly: Comparison of dynamic posturography

Laryngoscope Investigative Otolaryngology, 2020
Introduction Patients with sensorineural hearing loss suffer concomitant vestibular dysfunction that is more prevalent in patients with inner ear anomaly and could be aggravated with cochlear implantation. To assess the vestibular dysfunction in patients

Gene Expression by Mouse Inner Ear Hair Cells during Development

Journal of Neuroscience, 2015
Hair cells of the inner ear are essential for hearing and balance. As a consequence, pathogenic variants in genes specifically expressed in hair cells often cause hereditary deafness. Hair cells are few in number and not easily isolated from the adjacent
