Tmc Reliance Is Biased by the Hair Cell Subtype and Position Within the Ear
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2021 Hair cells are heterogenous, enabling varied roles in sensory systems. An emerging hypothesis is that the transmembrane channel-like (Tmc) proteins of the hair cell’s mechanotransduction apparatus vary within and between organs to permit encoding of ...

Early synapsids neurosensory diversity revealed by CT and synchrotron scanning
The Anatomical Record, Volume 309, Issue 4, Page 912-929, April 2026.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 ...

Journal of Comparative Neurology, Volume 534, Issue 4, April 2026.The absolute and relative volume of major sensory and integrative brain regions of the southern bluefin tuna Thunnus maccoyii are examined using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). A dominant cerebellum projects into the midbrain ventricular space, while the optic tectum represents a smaller proportion of total brain volume than previously estimated ...

Epithelial cell stretching and luminal acidification lead to a retarded development of stria vascularis and deafness in mice lacking pendrin. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 Loss-of-function mutations of SLC26A4/pendrin are among the most prevalent causes of deafness. Deafness and vestibular dysfunction in the corresponding mouse model, Slc26a4(-/-), are associated with an enlargement and acidification of the membranous ...

Midline Head Tap to Image the Human Vestibular Cortex on fMRI
Journal of the Royal Society of New Zealand, Volume 56, Issue 2, April 2026.A simple head tap can stimulate inner ear otolith organ activation. In this pilot proof‐of‐concept study, midline forehead taps were delivered in the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanner to elicit an observable response in the areas most suspected of representing a vestibular cortex.

Electrical Control of the Transduction Channels’ Gating Force in Mechanosensory Hair Cells
Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 16, 18 March 2026.The inner ear's hair cells rely on mechanosensitive ion channels to convert vibrations of their hair‐bundle into electrical signals. We show that varying the electrical potential (U) across the sensory epithelium modulates a key determinant of mechanosensitivity—the gating force (FG)—by modulating the gating swing (d), ranging from the size of the ...

Ultrastructure, Polarity, and Reproduction of the Golgi Apparatus
Biology of the Cell, Volume 118, Issue 3, March 2026.In this note published in 1957 in the Proceedings of the French Academy of Sciences, the zoologist Pierre‐Paul Grassé proposed for the first time that the cisternae of the Golgi apparatus form on the “cis” (proximal) face and are destroyed on the “trans” (distal) face to form chromophobe vesicles (presumably secretory granules), suggesting a model of ...

Primary Aspergillosis of Bilateral Laryngoceles
Case Reports in Medicine, 2014 Laryngocele is an abnormal dilatation of the saccule of laryngeal ventricle, which is usually unilateral and filled with air or fluid. We present a case of bilateral laryngoceles colonized by Aspergillus species.
