A Biomechanical Model of the Inner Ear: Numerical Simulation of the Caloric Test
The Scientific World Journal, 2013 Whether two vertical semicircular canals can receive thermal stimuli remains controversial. This study examined the caloric response in the three semicircular canals to the clinical hot caloric test using the finite element method.

Applied Sciences, 2019 We present a novel method to characterize the morphology of semicircular canals of the inner ear. Previous experimental works have a common nexus, the human-operator subjectivity. Although these methods are mostly automatic, they rely on a human decision

Mutation of Rubie, a novel long non-coding RNA located upstream of Bmp4, causes vestibular malformation in mice. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 The vestibular apparatus of the vertebrate inner ear uses three fluid-filled semicircular canals to sense angular acceleration of the head. Malformation of these canals disrupts the sense of balance and frequently causes circling behavior in mice.

A Robotic Urinary Bladder Enabling Volume Monitoring and Assisted Micturition
Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.An implantable robotic bladder is presented that can store urine in an origami‐designed enclosure. An inductance sensing principle can monitor and transfer the urine volume in real‐time. It can actively expand based on the amount of urine collected from kidneys and apply on‐demand mechanical compression to assist urination.

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This study presents the case of a child with multiple congenital anomalies, severe hypotonia, and profound bilateral sensorineural hearing loss. Functional bioenergetic assessments showed no significant mitochondrial respiratory defects, and riboflavin (Rf) status evaluation excluded a deficiency in Rf transporters as a cause of hearing loss ...

Paleoneuroanatomy of the European lambeosaurine dinosaur Arenysaurus ardevoli [PDF]
, 2015 The neuroanatomy of hadrosaurid dinosaurs is well known from North America and Asia. In Europe only a few cranial remains have been recovered that include the braincase. Arenysaurus is the first European endocast for which the paleoneuroanatomy has been

Early synapsids neurosensory diversity revealed by CT and synchrotron scanning
The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.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 ...

Predicting ecology and hearing sensitivities in Parapontoporia—An extinct long‐snouted dolphin
The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Analyses of the cetacean (whale and dolphin) inner ear provide glimpses into the ecology and evolution of extinct and extant groups. The paleoecology of the long‐snouted odontocete (toothed whale) group, Parapontoporia, is primarily marine with its depositional context also suggesting freshwater tolerance.

Disparity of turbinal bones in placental mammals
The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Turbinals are key bony elements of the mammalian nasal cavity, involved in heat and moisture conservation as well as olfaction. While turbinals are well known in some groups, their diversity is poorly understood at the scale of placental mammals, which span 21 orders.
