Semicircular canals shed light on bottleneck events in the evolution of the Neanderthal clade [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsRevealing the evolutionary processes which resulted in the derived morphologies that characterize the Neanderthal clade has been an important task for paleoanthropologists. One critical method to quantify evolutionary changes in the morphology of hominin

Is endolymphatic hydrops, as detected in MRI, a truly cochleocentric finding? [PDF]
Frontiers in NeurologyIntroductionThe most common histopathological finding in Ménière’s disease (MD) is endolymphatic hydrops (EH), which involves the dilation of the membranous labyrinth. The direct relationship between EH and MD is debated, although EH plays a crucial role

Advanced Imaging of the Vestibular Endolymphatic Space in Ménière's Disease
Frontiers in Surgery, 2021 The diagnosis of “definite” Méniére's disease (MD) relies upon its clinical manifestations. MD has been related with Endolymphatic Hydrops (EH), an enlargement of the endolymphatic spaces (ES) (cochlear duct, posterior labyrinth, or both).
